I've seen recommendations of using softupdates and noatime to speed up make world. The noatime is an option of mount(8). How do you turn on softupdates? Is this the same as async? How bad can you hose yourself? If I have a separate slice for each of / and /var and /usr, I can do these options just on the non-root slices and get some speedup and not risk root, correct? I'm running 3.0-RELEASE. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
