It can also be good on a partition devoted solely to news that is
allowed to be newfs on data corruption as well...
With current full-feed news flow and innd, there will soon be no option
other than battery-backed-up scsi controller or async mounts. I have
survived with async mounts for news disks since last summer, and the damn
thing crashes often enough that I can say you can make it without serious
data loss, as long as you run fsck -y for news disks on boot :-)
