      Hello all,

      What do you think about adding an option (or even making it default)
      for disabling the write cache on IDE disks. (sysctl hw.ata.wc)
      I think this can be very helpful in case of crashes, and the performance impact
      will probably be negligible for a router/firewall device.

      Regards,
      Niki
