	Per <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html>, I tried 
remounting /usr async, but that appears to have had no effect. This 
is in both 4.5-RELEASE and 4.6-STABLE.

>/dev/ad0s2f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
>/dev/ad0s2e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
>procfs on /proc (procfs, local)

	Does soft-updates override async / sync / noasync? Where is 
soft-updates documented? I don't see anything in the mount or fsck 
man page, or the Handbook; and the newfs man page just lists the -U 
option, without any explanation.


						Thanks,
