Very simple: mw@theatre:/home/mw 558 $ mount /dev/da0s1a on / (ufs, local, writes: sync 269 async 8156) /dev/da0s1e on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates, writes: sync 4 async 29130) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ /dev/da0s1f on /home (ufs, local, soft-updates, writes: sync 474 async 35684) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ (...) On recompiling the kernel, did you check to set the necessary symbolic links? You should run tunefs -n enable in singleuser mode on the file system(s) you want softupdates enabled on, but it looks, you know that already :-) Regards, Martin -- /| /| | /| / ,,You know, there's a lot of opportunities, / |/ | artin |/ |/ elk if you're knowing to take them, you know, there's a lot of opportunities, Freiberg/Saxony, Germany if there aren't you can make them, mw@sax.de / mw@theatre.sax.de make or break them!''
