Althought IIRC, it's better to reboot the box after the tunefs on > the / filesystem. I don't understand why you'd bother with softupdates on / anyway? Just from my perspective, I try to keep the / fs as reliable as possible and, although softupdates is very reliable, it does have a slightly higher incidence of crash corruption than standard sync. Besides, if your partitioning is done intelligently, you usually aren't writing to / much so lower write performance doesn't really hurt anything. Just some philosophical musings. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
