Bug 39343

Summary: Obsolete sysctls in manpage for ata(4)

Description Michal Pasternak 2002-06-15 21:50:01 UTC
	Manpage for ata(4) gives false information about:
	
...
     To see the devices' current access modes, use the command line:
           sysctl hw.atamodes
     which results in the modes of the devices being displayed as a string
     like this:
           hw.atamodes: dma,pio,---,pio,dma,---,dma,---, (--- = no device)
...

	And such.

	My kernel config with ATA devices is considered proper.

Fix: 

Someone with better ata knowledge should rewrite the manpage.
How-To-Repeat: 	man 4 ata
	sysctl -a |grep hw.atamodes

this PR is a dup a PR #39202 and may be closed.

	ata(4) refer to sysctl(8) instead of atacontrol(8).
