I'll try soft updates when I move to 3.x . Hmmm.... Doesn't FreeBSD get into trouble if you start deviating from the default 8k/1k for filesystems? (i.e. newfs -b 8192 -f 1024) I know it caused problems a while ago - I also know someone called it 'a bad thing' (at the time) - I'm not sure of the overall outcome though... If it's an 'OK thing' now, that would be quite handy for some of my filesystems as well... -Kp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
