I have the slices that are hammered all mounted async (are they really working async? is there a way to tell?). Any other useful mount options for a local fs? For further performance improvements the tunefs (8) hints that a space optimized fs costs a lot. My messages log shows /kernel keeps changing the tuning of the news spool, although for the last two days it's kept it on space optimized. I shouldn't really care much about avoiding fragmentation on my frequently rm'd newsspool [should I...?] and would like to save the expense. What's the best way to use tunefs in this service? Any preferred options here?
