Do *NOT* use "noatime" in combination with soft updates! The dependencies for "noatime" are not switchable, and by enabling it, you are breaking the dependency graph into seperate pieces! The bug here is that it didn't ignore your request for "noatime". Julian, you want to fix ffs_mount in /sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_vfsops.c?
