Still not working. I am suspecting the kernel build. I do have ffs_softdep.c and softdep.h as symlinks in /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs ; however I do not see ffs_softdep.o in /usr/src/sys/compile/<NAME>, just ffs_softdep_stub.o. softupdates.h contains "#define NSOFTUPDATES 0". Somehow all this looks suspicious to me. Yet I have "options SOFTUPDATES" in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/<NAME>. Is that the right place for that option? -furio To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
