I'd like to know if they are worth using on a single user workstation, or do they really just benefit larger servers? It looks like they affect all disk operations to some degree. Also, to make sure i have it right, i enable softupdates in the kernel, then run tunefs -n on the target filesystem. That's it, right? Then just sit back and watch the fun begin? :-) -jm ------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
