I noticed as well, there is no way to turn off SoftUpdates with Journaling. e.g. despite unselecting that option, I ended up with a file system below. # mount /dev/ada0p3 on / (ufs, local, journaled soft-updates) devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel) /dev/ada0p4 on /usr (ufs, local, journaled soft-updates) /dev/ada0p5 on /var (ufs, local, journaled soft-updates) In the partition editor, OK and Options both have the same hotkeys (O). Also if you change from the suggested partition default, it always wants to add a boot partition even if there is one already there. e.g. go to guided, delete / and the swap and add some partitions. When you create a new / it will say it needs a boot partition, but that already exists and now there will be two. ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/
