Hi all,
I am trying to enable softupdates on my /var partition, but
I am having difficulties (I am a FreeBSD newbie migrating
from Linux exactly to improve filesystem performance; please
bear with me).
I did "ln -s ../../contrib/softupdates/*.[ch] ." in /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs.
I put "options SOFTUPDATES" in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/<NAME>.
I make-installed the custom kernel.
I rebooted, went single user, unmounted my /var partition and did
# tunefs -n enable /dev/da0s1e
tunefs: soft updates set
# tunefs -p /dev/da0s1e
tunefs: soft updates: (-n) enabled
[...more output...]
# mount /dev/da0s1e /var
# mount
[...]
/dev/da0s1e on /var (ufs, local, writes: sync 2 async 0)
Now I understand that at this point softupdates should appear
in the list within (...). And this is not just a failure of mount
to show it: I ran performance tests without seeing any difference
between "enabled" and "disabled".
I must have forgotten to do something. Thanks for any clue...
(I am on 3.4-RELEASE on a vulgar i586 platform).
