It would be nice if the softupdates code (or maybe other kernel code could do this) could detect when filesystem space is running low, and kick into some "fail-safe" mode. For example, when the free space drops below 15%, softupdates could automatically shut itself off, and then turn itself back on when the free space rises above 20% (hysteresis). - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
