 I am sorry, but I have noticed a slight mistake in my patch, on the line under
 
 options SOFTUPDATES, I typed "dist" instead of "disk" I apologize for 
 that mistake and I will be a tad bit more careful on the next!
 
 Also, I have dabbed into GENERIC a bit more, and noticed that options 
 UFS_DIRHASH is listed, but not all togeather.  For instance, GENERIC 
 says that the option speeds up performance on big directories, but makes 
 no note on the fact that, the performance is uses ram for this, a 
 machine with a small amount of ram may not want that option listed.  I 
 will make a note of that on my next kernel patch.
