I wrote a patch to do this some time back. Stefan Esser <se@freebsd.org> pointed out that this would be made redundant when (if?) softupdates is turned into a mount option. According to him, mckusick agreed with his point of view on this matter. You can find his e-mail to -audit about this here: http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=0+0+archive/2001/freebsd-audit/20010218.freebsd-audit You can find my patch to newfs at http://www.unixfreak.org/~dima/home/newfs-softdep.diff. I suppose it may be a worthwhile addition until se's patch goes in.
