At least in -stable. :You use softupdates turned on for all of your ufs. :Understand. :What is the reason to use softupdates for file system :with only atime updates on it? : :-- :@BABOLO http://links.ru/ Unless you are doing a read-only mount, there are still going to be cases where having softupdates turned on can be advantageous. For example, installworld will go a lot faster. I also consider softupdates a whole lot safer, even if all you are doing is editing an occassional file. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
