That's your choice. By default, it won't, since data loss is more likely with soft updates (anything that doesn't immediately write everything physically to disk creates a risk of data loss). But you can force it if you wish. > I created the setup you described about a year ago with 5.2.1, and > I had serious problems if the system ever hard rebooted after a > power failure. Single user manual fsck's and all that. That's what a UPS is for. You can never guarantee data integrity with any type of write caching. FreeBSD attempts to ensure that the file system directory structure (inodes) is coherent at all times, if not perfectly up to date, but there is still a chance of data loss in files if the system is not shut down cleanly. > I want / + /boot. It's that simple. Then create them that way. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
