We didn't have async support in 2.1.0. We had partial support for it in 2.1.5, and full support for it in 2.2/-current. In -current, it should take only a few seconds to delete /usr/src. :-) (I haven't tried, however) The ultra-fast async in 2.2/-current also means that it has a much higher chance of trashing your filesystem if the system should go down before the stuff is written out...so it's a mixed bag. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
