I notice the FreeBSD 4.5 release notes say that sysinstall will now enable soft updates on all files systems except the root. Why is that so? Is it a bad idea to have a root file system with soft updates? Is it just for compatibility reasons? I need to know because I am installing a system where I am using all the disk space and mounting it as / (except for swap space ofcourse)..... I know this is a bad idea for various reasons ..... but I have good reasons for doing this too.... So my question is basically should I enable soft updates on my system which uses the whole disk as the root? Many thanks..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Would you like a mobile office from only $29.95 per year?
