Any reason why / is not specifically recommended? I've been running it for about 2 weeks now with no ill effects. The only thing that caught me was that the delay between deleting a file and the blocks being released was much larger than I had grown accustomed to on BSD/OS which also has soft updates. I don't know if it is implementation or the fact that this machine in question has IDE instead of SCSI. I have it enabled on *all* my partitions. Quite useful in / since that's where /tmp is, unless you have an MFS /tmp... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
