X-Newsgroups: list.freebsd-stable User-Agent: tin/1.4.1-19991201 ("Polish") (UNIX) (FreeBSD/3.4-19991219-STABLE (i386)) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I've asked this before on -questions and didn't get a reply. Sorry for repeating it on this list, but I don't think this is a stupid question (if it is, then someone _please_ let me know). Does it make sense to use soft-update in conjunction with INN and the news spool on CNFS? Is it good, or does it make things worse, or does it not matter at all? I _think_ that it doesn't matter, because the CNFS involves no meta data updates, but I'm really not sure. Maybe just mount it async instead? And how about INN's overview stuff? History and active files? Any hints are greately appreciated! Regards Oliver PS: In case it matters: the news server will receive a non- binary feed, i.e. it will be only moderately busy. -- Oliver Fromme, Leibnizstr. 18/61, 38678 Clausthal, Germany (Info: finger userinfo:olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de) "In jedem Stück Kohle wartet ein Diamant auf seine Geburt" (Terry Pratchett) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
