Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Well, i installed softupdates, and added flags to wdc0, and i'm still here! And i think everything runs faster... who knows... Does it make sense to leave softupdates turned off for the root partition, to protect it's integrity a little more? Or will i lose a lot of the benefits since much of the I/O is to var and tmp? -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
