To enable softupdates on / is very simple: boot -s at the loader prompt and do tunefs -n enable / It is my understanding that if you forget to enable softupdates in kernel conf the flag is simply not recognized and causes no trouble. Finally if you are on a rather small disk, for example on a laptop, the config which does not loose space and allows occasional big files in /tmp etc. is to put everything in / flatly. I have done that and never encountered any problem. -- Michel TALON To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
