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.

Thanks,
J.

Description:

Hi,

On this page:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/wal-reliability.html

... there is a reference to &#39;atacontrol&#39; on FreeBSD: &#39;On FreeBSD, IDE drives
can be queried using atacontrol...&#39;

This command was deprecated in FreeBSD 9.0 which was released in January
2012. Here is a link to the relevant man page highlighting its obsolesence:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=atacontrol&amp;sektion=8&amp;apropos=0&amp;manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE

The &#39;camcontrol&#39; is the replacement.

Could you supply a new phrasing of that paragraph?  Does camcontrol now
handle both IDE and SCSI?
