I don't know why MFS would have an effect on this. The only two things I can think of are either swapping to a file on a softdep filesystem, or somehow the softupdates stuff thinks it should be active on the MFS filesystems. What does /sbin/mount say about the mount flags on these filesystems? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
