[1] I did the following to enable soft updates - hit space bar during boot up - boot -s to enter single user mode - hit enter to accept default shell - tunefs -n enable / - tunefs -n enable /usr - tunefs -n enable /var - tunefs -n enable /tmp <--- *** - reboot When I do the above, for /tmp, I get: tunefs: /tmp : not a block or character device [2] I read that once tunefs is enabled, it stays enabled even after reboot. But not after power off/on right? [3] Where in /etc should I put a script to enable soft updates during boot up?
