References: Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG :/usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/README.softupdates contains the following warning: : :IMPORTANT NOTE: The Soft Updates code is currently in ALPHA test. :Use at your own risk! : :Is this still a valid comment? I haven't seen or experienced any :softupdates-related problems for ages.. : :Kris I think the only known bugs right now occur sometimes when the filesystem runs out of space. I would say that softupdates is essentially production quality. I've been using it on all my systems for months with no problems beyond a few esoteric issues. A couple of problems showed up when I began softupdates on swap-backed VN volumes. Those have now been solved. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
