Isn't it safer (in the face of a power failure) to disable write caching on a hard disk when softupdates is in use? The ata driver currenly always enables write caching. Perhaps there should be a sysctl knob to turn it on/off? -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
