Larry Baird replied today and suggested to reboot and:
boot -s
tunefs -e enable /dev/rwd0s2a
Doing this worked as far as I can tell. When I do a
mount command I get this output.
mark@slugo:/home/mark:>mount
/dev/wd0s2a on / (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 3 async 100)
/dev/wd0s2e on /var (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 83 async 176)
/dev/wd0s2f on /usr (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 83 async 519)
procfs on /proc (local)
/dev/wd0s1 on /dos/c (local)
/dev/wd1s1 on /dos/d (local)
But when I boot it only shows the following in the dmesg.
These represent /var and /usr partitions. They have been there all along.
So, I guess it worked. I dont know why I dont get a
third line below for the third soft-update enabled
partition? Unless you only ever get two?
da0: 96MB (196608 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 96C)
changing root device to wd0s2a
ffs_mountfs: superblock updated for soft updates
ffs_mountfs: superblock updated for soft updates
