i setup a FreeBSD file server at work, and during a dd to a floppy it got
hard read errors and paniced the machine (woo-hoo!! i hate floppy drives)
so at that point i thought, maybe i should enable softupdates.

but what should i know before i do this?  this machine has to be stable, so
i won't do it if it introduces instability (even if it makes recovering
easier)  and also what about performance?  it's hooked up to a hardware RAID
box if that makes any difference.

thanks,

-brian
