I have it mounted with what I believe are the recommended settings: $ mount [...] /dev/ad0s1f.journal on /usr (ufs, asynchronous, local, noatime, gjournal) [...] I also have some file-backed geli disks which reside in /usr/home/betom. They are still using soft-updates (from before I had gjournal on /usr): /dev/md11.eli on /usr/home/betom/_11 (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) /dev/md13.eli on /usr/home/betom/_13 (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) /dev/md12.eli on /usr/home/betom/_12 (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) Does it make sense to set these GELI disks to async / no-soft-updates as well? thanks!
