to have write-back caches that will not survive a power failure."
I guess it's reasonable to replace "IDE" with "ATA/SATA" though it's pretty minor. It'd be nice to confirm that the method for disabling the write cache on fbsd is still correct and applies to SATA drives.

from the pg doc:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/wal-reliability.html :On Linux, IDE drives can be queried using hdparm -I; write caching is enabled if there is a * next to Write cache. hdparm -W 0 can be used to turn off write caching.

from the hdparm man page :
so,the doc is out date, it should mention hdparm also support SATA.
and this doc section current contains more IDE than SATA driver , but nowadays, IDE driver is nearly dead, it hardly buy one IDE hard disk on the market. so we should write more doc about SATA than IDE.
best regards,
