X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Rae List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 14:34:17 -0000 File systems used to be mounted with soft-updates(?) option. I disable it with "tunefs -n disable ....." and mount all file system with "async" option but I can feel any difference. some said it's dangerous. Does it matter even if I'm not running any heavy load server?
