Hi,
Is there a way to turn on acoustic management for ATA harddisks?
atactl tells me the disk is capable of "automatic acoustic management":
# atacontrol cap 0 0
ATA channel 0, Master, device ad0:
Protocol              ATA/ATAPI revision 6
device model          HDS722516VLAT80
.

What's the proper way to turn acoustic management on under FreeBSD (5.4).
Thanks in advance for your help,
