Larry Baird replied today and suggested to reboot and: boot -s tunefs -e enable /dev/rwd0s2a Doing this worked as far as I can tell. When I do a mount command I get this output. mark@slugo:/home/mark:>mount /dev/wd0s2a on / (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 3 async 100) /dev/wd0s2e on /var (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 83 async 176) /dev/wd0s2f on /usr (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 83 async 519) procfs on /proc (local) /dev/wd0s1 on /dos/c (local) /dev/wd1s1 on /dos/d (local) But when I boot it only shows the following in the dmesg. These represent /var and /usr partitions. They have been there all along. So, I guess it worked. I dont know why I dont get a third line below for the third soft-update enabled partition? Unless you only ever get two? da0: 96MB (196608 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 96C) changing root device to wd0s2a ffs_mountfs: superblock updated for soft updates ffs_mountfs: superblock updated for soft updates Eric Jacoboni wrote: > > "Mark S.
