Arguably, Walter might be better served by turning off softdep and ensuring the filesystem is mounted 'sync'. That doesn't solve the fsck speed issue, but it would help ensure no data loss. Note to Walter: a journaling filesystem is not magic, you can (and will) still experience data loss in uncontrolled shutdowns. Journaling just means (roughly) that the metadata and data are written in the correct order so that the filesystem is not in an inconsistent state... not that you won't lose data. (As already pointed out, softdep does much the same thing.) Does running FFS2 improve fsck times? Not something I've ever tested... -Adam -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
