After the 3.0 Release date I enabled softupdates on my src partition. I'm doing a make world -j4 on my dual PII 400 in less than one hour. I stress test my system at least once a day with that and had absolutely no problems regarding softupdates until now. For now the current is solid as a rock for me. fn@trinity:ttyp1$ uptime 8:29AM up 7 days, 17:18, 2 users, load averages: 2.07, 2.00, 1.98 The load come from rc5des running :-) and 7 days ago I switched to the new bootblocks.
