We fsck a 5-10M filesystem on boot. We then fsck -y it if it didn't work. We have though about newfs if that didn't work :-), but haven't done it yet. We get very fast boot times as well. If you are running an embedded system, combining / and /usr and building things NOSHARED=no will give you a space savings of several megabytes because then all of /bin and /sbin are linked dynamically. We've deployed about 100 systems like this and haven't had any problems with it. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
