FreeBSD newcyrus.watson.org 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #0: Tue Sep 25 16:16:48 EDT 2001     root@newcyrus.watson.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

>Description:

When using tunefs to set parameters that cannot be modified on a live
file system, the error message may be counter-intuitive, suggesting that
the command both succeeded and failed:

newcyrus# tunefs -n enable /usr
tunefs: soft updates set
tunefs: cannot open /dev/ad0s1e: Device busy

Arguably, the soft updates set message should not be printed until the
call resulting in "Device busy" has succeeded.

>How-To-Repeat:

See above.
