* From: Terry Lambert <tlambert@primenet.com> * One argument is that fsck needs to be able to tell how the thing * was last mounted, if it's going to do soft-updates specific * things, like not fixing up the cg free list before allowing the * mount. * * I personally don't really buy this argument, since it should be * possible to synchnously update a flag in the superblock when * switching states, the same way the clean flag gets updated. Doesn't it already do something like that? My 100GB partitions take about 30 seconds while the "superblock [is] updated for softupdates", I'd be surprised it can't even set a flag do indicate what it's doing. :) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
