I need it for a FreeBSD router, so file system performance is not an issue (becasue it is just forwarding packets) but consistency is (as it will often be shutdown "uncleanly"). I think I have to choose from on of the following: Soft Updates + No write caching No Soft Updates + No write caching No Soft Updates + write caching I'm not sure which? Also how do you turn of write caching? Any help would be greatly appreciated....... thanks in advance --------------------------------------------------------------------- Never lose a fax again, receive faxes to your personal email account!
