Any idea what happened to the sysctl? Is there some other method to
verify the loader tunable took (other than testing the throughput)?
Boot with -v. If the loader tunable took effect, you should see
"Enabling SATA WC on phy " instead of "Disabling SATA ..."
Cool, it works then. Why was the info removed from the sysctl mib?
mpt0: Enabling SATA WC on phy 0
mpt0: Enabling SATA WC on phy 1
Bonnie++ is showing me about 24MB/s writes and 70MB/s reads.
Is any of this verbose stuff problematic?
mpt0: No Handlers For Any Event Notify Frames. Event 0xa (ACK not required).
mpt0: No Handlers For Any Event Notify Frames. Event 0x16 (ACK not

mpt0: No Handlers For Any Event Notify Frames. Event 0x12 (ACK not

mpt0: No Handlers For Any Event Notify Frames. Event 0xb (ACK not required).
And is any of this info found at boot-time accessible while the system is
running?
Hi,
Sorry, I can't answer your questions - all I did to find the
boot -v information was to look in the kernel source code. Grepping
through the CVS history I don't actually see a point in CVS history
where there was a sysctl MIB value for the SATA WC status, although I
might be mistaken. Perhaps you are remembering using kenv to get
at hw.mpt.enable_sata_wc instead of sysctl?
That, my friend, is precisely the problem. "kenv" didn't stick in my head
because most of the FreeBSD-isms in my head still date back to 4.x. I am
behind the times...
Thanks for solving the mystery for me.
Charles

ps - would it kill Dell to make a damn ISO of a bootable media for RAID
controller firmware upgrades??? I don't even own anything with a floppy
drive anymore.
