|So, for an average joe running FreeBSD on a laptop with an UltraIDA drive

|softupdates?  Or is it negligible?  Or am i sacrificing reliability?

|Just so i don't look foolish, here is m guess:
|Yes, i will gain some performance
|No, i will not lose reliability

from sys/ufs/ffs/README.softupdates :

IMPORTANT NOTE:  The Soft Updates code is currently in ALPHA test.
Use at your own risk!

I would like to know if I should run this code on a production machine.
I've been told that this message is probably just out of date but ...

just curious.

thanks,
