In addition, pratically, Soft Updates will be better in many aspects, I guess this is the primary reason why there is not a LFS support available. I think it will be valuable to have a read-only LFS support in FreeBSD. However, I don't think it's a heavily desireable feature, because Soft Updates does well in most cases. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-doc@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-doc@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Shen Lily Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 4:34 PM To: doc@FreeBSD.org Subject: Why does freebsd not support it? > I read some papers that say LFS has superiority over FFS in some aspect. > Why does freebsd not support it?
