Speaking of / ... I have three filesystems to mount apart from root. First I enabled softupdates on these three to see if all works well before doing this on the root fs. During every boot I see 3 times: ffs_mountfs: superblock updated for soft updates Than I enabled softupdates for / as well. However, I still see only three times the message above. But mount tells me that softupdates are enabled for all four filesystems. Is it normal that enabling softupdates for the root fs doesn't produce this message?
