Can you please explain the difference in XFS and softupdates and why soft updates would be more desireable than a journaling file system. I understand what XFS is but based on your comments I get the feeling that I have the wrong impression of what softupdates is and how it performs. I know there are papers on the subject(s). Any one got a link? JRS > However, XFS doesn't have "softupdates", and I don't know of any > way to apply something like "softupdates" to it.
