Had you even bothered to look at LINT *before* you sent this message, you would have clearly seen the comment: # Soft updates is technique for improving file system speed and # making abrupt shutdown less risky. It is not enabled by default due # to copyright restraints on the code that implement it. # # Read ../../ufs/ffs/README.softupdates to learn what you need to # do to enable this. ../../../contrib/sys/softupdates/README gives # more details on how they actually work. # #options SOFTUPDATES By failing to do even this most basic of steps yourself, you only waste everyone's time with bogus failure reports.
