My office is located in Southern California and of late we have had almost ten power failures. I have set up my first FreeBSD box and am learning quickly. If my memory serves I recall Unix writes to disk as little as possible to keep the system running at peak efficiency. However I don't want to risk data loss. So until I can get a UPS (that is absolutely next on my list) I want set the system to write to the disk as soon as possible. I am currently looking through sysctl in the handbook to find some setting that may enable writing data immediately. Am I in the correct place? There are A LOT of settings here can anyone point me to the correct setting so I don't spend the rest of my life reading. Thank you, Joshua Lewis
