mount -f does not enable softupdates. The mount(8) man page says:
-f Forces the revocation of write access when trying to downgrade a
filesystem mount status from read-write to read-only. Also
forces the R/W mount of an unclean filesystem (dangerous; use
with caution).
In this case, dangerous means that further file system damage and/or a
system panic can happen.
Softupdates is enabled and disabled with
tunefs -n enable
and
tunefs -n disable
on an unmounted file system.
