Doesn't it already do something like that? My 100GB partitions take about 30 seconds while the "superblock [is] updated for softupdates", I'd be surprised it can't even set a flag do indicate what it's doing. :) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
