Should I also enable it for the / partition? If so, how does one do that since the partition can't be mounted while running tunefs? Also, since the / partition rarely gets written to, does it make sense to enable softupdates on it? -- mark@slugo:/boot:>mount /dev/wd0s2a on / (local, writes: sync 349 async 1004) /dev/wd0s2e on /var (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 82 async 674) /dev/wd0s2f on /usr (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 1783 async 4978) procfs on /proc (local) /dev/wd0s1 on /dos/c (local) /dev/wd1s1 on /dos/d (local) -- \|/ (@ @) +----------oOO----(_)------------------+ | Mark S.
