What I found was: mount -ufo ro tunefs -n enable mount -ufo rw And it works ok in a filesystem that isn't in use and I whan't activate soft updates in all partitions including "/". I want to enable soft updates in a server (FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE) but I'm afraid what the `ro' can do to my services (apache, mail, etc). Q1. There is other (safer) way of turning this on ? Q2. I don't remenber if RELEASE-4.4 works ok with soft updates, because I always track STABLE at home and RELEASE at server and I'm not shure if activating soft updates in 4.4R is a good idea. Can anyone help me in this issue?
