Yea, someone else I was talking with about this said the same thing. I just can't get over the nagging feeling that (for the mail spool directory) there ought to be something that is ultra-super-deluxe fast that I should be using. :-) > Normal > filesystems with softupdates turned on make pretty good mail spools though OK, I've seen several mentions now of `softupdates', and I think that I have a general (vague?) notion of what `softupdates' is all about, but allow me to disaply my ignorance one more time and ask which man page (or document) I should be looking at to learn all of the specifics regarding `softupdates'. (I looked at `man tunefs' and I don't see nuttin' there, so where exactly is/are `softupdates' documented?)
