The other day I mentioned I had a problem with a Samba-shared drive that was just installed blowing up. When I rebuilt it, I forgot to enable softupdates but the drive seems to be working flawlessly. I understand it is possible to do this after-the-fact with tunefs. Some questions: Do I have to unmount the drive to do it? What benefit will I get if I turn on softupdates? This drive is being used as a backup drive for all the workstations on this particular network, and "reliable" is much more important than " slightly faster". -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
