Hello,
If I add an SSD on a freebsd server and that SSD supports overprovision with "Host Protected Area", is there a way to change the overprovision ratio natively on freebsd? (or do I have to boot a Linux or Windows to use a dedicated piece of software to do that?)
hpa
.# camcontrol hpa /dev/ada1
