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, softupdates are up and running for real this time ;-) Has anyone found any limitations, or circumstances when they are undesirable? As i understand it, the negatives are minimal: 1. More memory is used 2. The FS _may_ be prone to corruption in rare circumstances Has anyone found the system sluggish during makes (more than without softupdates) or otherwise limited during some particular activity? I'm just trying to get a gauge on what to expect, and what is (ab)normal. -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
