Yes, mount will tell you, it should look like this: inof@hermes:~> mount /dev/da0s1a on / (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 3 async 247336) /dev/da0s1h on /usr (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 7 async 92294) /dev/da0s1g on /usr/home (local, nodev, nosuid, soft-updates, writes: sync 14 async 13972) /dev/da0s1e on /var (local, nodev, nosuid, soft-updates, writes: sync 1484 async 265167) /dev/da0s1f on /var/squid (local, nodev, nosuid, soft-updates, writes: sync 2 async 986468) /dev/da1d on /var/cache1 (local, noatime, nodev, nosuid, soft-updates, writes: sync 2 async 3965578) /dev/da2d on /var/cache2 (local, noatime, nodev, nosuid, soft-updates, writes: sync 2 async 4043541) /dev/da3d on /var/cache3 (local, noatime, nodev, nosuid, soft-updates, writes: sync 2 async 3937333) mfs:39 on /tmp (asynchronous, local, nodev, nosuid, writes: sync 60 async 1270) procfs on /proc (local) > But everytime i try that, i see > suync and async stats listed, but no softupdate status.

What version of FreeBSD are you using, exactly? Did you run tunefs while the partition was not mounted? Do you have the SOFTUPDATES option compiled into your kernel?
