I gave softupdates a try on my box. The hardware setup:
486 dx2/66 - 128mb parity RAM
Adaptec 1542C SCSI controller with two external SCSI-2 devices:
1) A Fujitsu - ~500mb. This is the drive the OS sits on.
2) An HP C3010 - a 5 1/4" full-height beast - ~2000mb. This is the
drive that softupdates tried to eat! :-)
I tried copying a large directory---in the background---while checking its
progress with 'ls.' After some crunching, the drive started into a looping
kind of read and/or write cycle, sounding, close enough, like
Tic-kuh-duh-DUG-uh-duh---over and over. 'ls' just hung, and I couldn't kill
it. I turned off the power, rebooted single-user, and fsck'ed my way out (a
little messy, but no harm done---this is my playground drive,
anyway---nothing important to lose)
