I tried continuing on instead of rebooting once but it didn't remount / with softupdates enabled. I did have to give the full path to the raw device to tunefs ("/dev/rsd0s2a" for my system) - simply giving "sd0s2a" would not update the root partition. -- Parag Patel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
