Hi,

I am sorry if I am asking a question that might have been brought up before
I have attempted to research my issue but it has many angles it might be
listed under so please bare with me.

We have had ongoing problems with UFS Errors on our root partition (and any
additional partition that did not have soft-updates enabled by default) and
we recently had a problem with a secondary drive that housed home
directories completely filled up and then everything locked up due-to huge
CPU and Memory usage because nothing was able to write to the drive but when
the server was rebooted it failed to bootup because of critical errors on
the root partition.

We have /etc and /usr on the root partition and our home/var partitions
mistakenly do not have soft-updates flag set.

To prevent letting these errors go out of control and not beable to fix the
root partition errors without going into singleuser mode and the other
partitions by mounting them with soft-updates flag, does anyone advise
removing everything from the root partition and only leaving the bootloader
and thus moving /etc and /usr (or most of all just /usr) to it's own
partition or do you guys have a better solution.

Every partition gets errors over time but if you are unable to correct them
without downtime how are you to correct them before they get out of control?
