Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.89.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I live in a part of the world where power is very irregular. In my short experience with *BSD, I see that UFS has more problems than ext2 with unclean shutdown. I lost files in both FreeBSD and OpenBSD, this was very rare in my 2 years in Linux land. Is there any way to tweak the sync time? (sync time for meta-data in Linux ext2 is 5 secs, configurable). I am FreeBSD 2.2.6 and OpenBSD 2.4. Any hints/pointers appreciated. -- Mojahed To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
