Please take a look at what NetBSD just recently did: http://www.netbsd.org/Changes/#softdepsmount These changes disables the whole 'tunefs' process, and let you control softupdates state with mount, (-o softdep). So all you have to do is to tune your /etc/fstab to enable softupdates. I think this will make it more easy to enable SOFTUPDATES by default. -- Anders Andersson anders@sanyusan.se Sanyusan International AB http://www.sanyusan.se/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
