The FS isn't used for anything I really value, just assorted object files and other temp data. My question, though, is, how do I safely unmount an active async filesystem? Does the unmount process automatically force a complete flush to disk? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
