And, if the partition has soft updates enabled, allow the system at least two minutes to write the updates to disk after a deletion before the blocks are actually returned to the available pool. The command mount will tell you if a partition is mounted with soft updates: > mount /dev/ad0s2a on / (ufs, local) /dev/ad0s2f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s2e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) R.
