However, when I hit the power button and the machine comes back up, it insists on fscking /usr. I'm running 5.0-current on a 4.0 box in which I enabled softupdates using tunefs. $ mount /dev/ad4s2a on / (ufs, local) /dev/ad4s2f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad4s2e on /var (ufs, asynchronous, local) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) $ cat /etc/fstab # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad4s2b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad4s2a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad4s2f /usr ufs rw,async 2 0 /dev/ad4s2e /var ufs rw,async 2 2 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 Can anyone please explain how to use softupdates and not pay the long fsck penalty ?
