I created patches that do just that (mount -o softdep performs
a soft-updates mount and updates the superblock softdep flag)
back in June 2000 and sent them to Kirk, who then agreed that
this was the way to go, when the problems with memory and disk
resource usage of soft-updates writes were solved (the missing
limits on the amount of dirty buffers and the delayed freeing
of disk blocks after a file is removed). Both of these points
seem to have been resolved, meanwhile, and I do not see any
reason, not to enable soft-updates by default and to provide a
mount option that disables soft-updates per filesystem.

That message includes my mail to Kirk, where I describe the
diffs and my reasoning, why it should be done that way ... )
The following diffs are patches to all components (kernel, mount
programs) except for the required additions to the mount_ufs man
page.
I have been running a patched kernel on sevreal systems for more
than a half year with no problems at all ...
Regards, STefan
PS: The diffs that I append assume softdep OFF by default, which
is what I have used and tested. I can easily rework that code
to assume softdep ON and will start to implement and test that
version. The logic will remain unchanged, so this code should
be near enough to the final code to be suitable for review.
