FreeBSD's UFS makes sure that all operations happen in the 'correct order' so that if a crash happens the amount of damage is minimilized. This leads to pretty slow directory operations. To speed it up safely have a look at /usr/src/sys/contrib/softupdates/README. also you can set the mountpoint 'async' mount -o async -u /mountpoint that willl remove the ordering restriction, but if a crash happens you can lose a lot of data. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
