Hello, The man page for mount says -v means verbose mode, but can someone explain what the writes and reads sync and async means? /dev/ad0s1f on /home (ufs, local, soft-updates, writes: sync 44781 async 134493, reads: sync 20143 async 4367) I understand that ufs is mounted sync unless you tell it to use async. So I'm guessing (and I'm probably wrong) that the async is something to do with softupdates. Just being curious. Cheers, John.
