If it's only "he :wants it this way, god only knows why", it's allright, but if there's :a technical reason, I'd like to know. : :Thanks in advance, : : Jonny Well, I can think of one right off the bat -- Kirk's been wanting to make fsck more and more softupdates-aware. This means that softupates really should be a filesystem flag and not a mount option. To avoid mistakes. I think the eventual goal is to be able to mount a softupdates partition either immediately or with only minimal cleanup and then finish cleaning it up in the background, live. -Matt Matthew Dillon :-- :Joao Carlos Mendes Luis M.Sc.
