I believe so, as my Load Cycle Count still increments fairly quickly when let. Though as long as you have "options ATA_CAM" (it appears to be in GENERIC, so you should, I suppose) you can also use variations on: /sbin/camcontrol cmd ada0 -a "EF 85 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00" to shut off naps & such as well. -- -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
