Hi, Sure. Camcontrol does indeed cover IDE, SCSI and SAS drives.
Replace this line: On FreeBSD, IDE drives can be queried using atacontrol... With this: On FreeBSD, IDE drives can be queried using camcontrol identify... In other words, the query is the same as for SCSI drives. For verification this is what the output looks like: root@bsd11desk:/home/jre # camcontrol identify 0:0:0 | egrep "Feature|write cache" Feature Support Enabled Value Vendor write cache yes yes I appreciate the Postgresql docs are not meant to be FreeBSD tutorials.
