:/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..

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.
