Hi there, LINT says this: # Allow the FFS to use Softupdates technology. # To do this you need to copy the two files # /sys/ufs/ffs/softdep.h and /sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_softdep.c # from /usr/src/contrib/sys/softupdates # and understand the licensing restrictions. # You should also check on the FreeBSD website for newer versions. #options SOFTUPDATES If I follow these isntructions and cp the files, I need to repeat the procedure any time the softupdates code is changed. Is it not feasible to use symbolic links to the files in the softupdates directory instead? i.e.: cd /sys/ufs/ffs ln -s /usr/src/contrib/sys/softupdates/softdep.h ln -s /usr/src/contrib/sys/softupdates/ffs_softdep.h This would require less thinking later on.
