OK, the Berkley Fast Filesystem has served us well for almost, wgat 20 years now. However it appears that we have reached the point where something else is needed. I recently built a machine with a 13G disk. Most of the disk is dedicated to /usr. Once I improperly shut the system down. The resulting fsck took forever!. And the partition was mostly empty! Any sugestions on alternate technologies available under FreeBSD? softupdates does not, at first glance, seem to be the fix here. If I am understanding it coreclty, then it appears that i could actually make things wose, in this respect, although it appears to offer higher runtime performance. Or am I all wet on this? -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy! Pay no attention to that cliff ahead...
