Hi,

I have a Hardware RAID controller -- Mylex DAC960PG -- on the FreeBSD
system.
Before I installed the RAID controller card, I use one IDE hdd as the system
drive and for other mounted file systems.

I have 4 SCSI hdds connect to this controller card. I wonder if I should
disable the softupdates feature for the FFS to make the system runs faster.

Thanks for your opinion.

Michael Lee
