Re: softupdates: any way to force sync?

The following sysctl's define the delay before things are written to disk with softupdates. I think they work in realtime and setting them to 3,2,1 for a little time wil sync the disk faster. But wil make the caching less efficient. So play with it for a while. kern.filedelay: 30 kern.dirdelay

: :So to keep Softupdates active on all boot ups, you have to re-execute :"tunefs -n enable /" or "tunefs -n enable /usr"? Otherwise its not active :on the partition? : :Jorge Once you turn softupdates on with tunefs, it's on for good. Of course, your kernel has to be compiled with the S

Re: Softupdates disappears?

Now I am totally confused. There is a /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/README file I see via cvsweb which I don't have as well, and the two files you are supposed to link appear to already be in the directory, but I don't fetch them. There was a change on Jun 22 which is when I started seeing a problem. I
