I know there's very little I/O on these partitions compared to _I_ use softupdates on all except / Works fine, I mean no data loss etc. But, because /usr is virtually ReadOnly (in my case) you will not receive many benefits from SoftUpdates. /var have many writes/reads: log files, mail etc. Also good candidate is /usr/home (or /home). -- Igor' Robul', Unix System Administrator & Programmer @ sanatorium "Raduga", Sochi, Russia http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=304744 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
