Hello, On my laptop, on which I have been running FreeBSD 5/CURRENT for quite a while, I have always had the problem that even though soft updates is enabled, and UFS2 is used on the partition (I only have one - the root partition), I still need to wait for a full fsck when booting after a crash/freeze/etc. "mount" clearly states soft updates are enabled; though from the beginning it was disabled due to a blunder of mine during initial installation. dumpfs reports that UFS2 is indeed the fs used The default value of background_fsck is YES in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, and it is not overridden in /etc/rc.conf. My kernel is compiled with soft updates support. I am currently running 5.2-BETA, though I have had this problems at least since 5.1-RELEASE. During install I discarded the default partition layout and created my own. I was careful to choose UFS2, though I forgot about soft updates. Is there anything else that is needed in order to get fsck-less boots?
