FreeBSD Claim:
http://www.freebsd.org/features.html
Soft Updates allows improved file system performance without sacrificing
safety and reliability

A Unix Expert's Claim:
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/reliability.html
``Do not use async or softupdates filesystems. If you do, and if your system
crashes at the wrong moment, you will lose [data].''

http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html
``Beware that NFS, async filesystems, and softupdates filesystems may
discard files that were not safely written to disk before an outage.''

Which should I believe?
