Really? I was reading doing the following to enable softupdates works: mount -u -r <file system> tunefs -n enable </dev/whatever> mount -u -w <filesystem> I think the above commands were what I used - pretty close to it anyway. Its been a while since I played with this. I tested it on my system and it worked. Of course, I did this in single user mode.
