I have the slices that are >hammered all mounted async (are they really working async? is there a >way to tell?). Any other useful mount options for a local fs? I think so. I run my NetBSD box this way, and it's pretty obvious sometimes that it's async. For example, copy a big directory of lots of files (like /usr/src/) to somewhere, sync it and let it settle, then rm -rf it. It should finish really quickly, then a burst of disk activity when sync time comes. I'll also note that I haven't had any reliability problems running async. Of course, I don't crash a lot, but I suspect most people don't. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
