Read /sys/ufs/ffs/README.softupdates Did ``boot -s'' and ran tunefs but got an error: Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: # pwd / # tunefs -n enable /usr tunefs: soft updates set tunefs: /dev/rda1s1e: reload: Invalid argument What caused this? There's no reference in the manpage. The only odd thing about my system is that I'm running a 3.4-RC kernel with a 3.3-STABLE, as of the end of September, userland (yeah, yeah, I know I shouldn't do this, but I needed something adding to the kernel but haven't had time to make the world, and it's running fine).
