I'd like to use it because of power outages. My question is: Which filesystem(s) should softupdate be applied to? All of them? Or, are some better than others? What about the root filesystem? If so, is it possible to umount all filesystems and run the tunefs program? -- David Kanter djkanter@northwestern.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
