Hi Ian,
Yes. This is what I'm looking for.
Suppose that when we do a:
1. tunefs -n enable||disable <filesystem> (any filesystem, any
state rw, ro ,etc)
2. tunefs puts a "softupdate" bit on that filesystem
3. reboot, so that bit "softupdate" take effect
I think this is a very "cool" solution but I don't know the
complications with `tunefs' C code.
As you say, this is a "one-shot thing". There is the problem with
including this in /rc/ (like I said): "It works ok but this method is
*stupid* because we need to activate softupdates *only once* and not every
time that we reboot/start the machine.
Thanks very much for your and all replies,
Nuno Teixeira
