New Revision: 219667
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/219667
Log:
Turn on softupdates by default. We need a UI to set filesystem
parameters.
Modified:
head/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/partedit/gpart_ops.c
This would appear to still be a change from the previous behaviour,
where softupdates were enabled by default for any filesystem except for
the root filesystem.
It is -- and this needs to become settable. Bear in mind, however, that
the default partition layout is also different. If you select the auto
option, only one file system is made, so there are no non-root file systems.
Hrm, I hadn't realised this was the case. If this change is intentional
and planned to remain, I guess the various bits of documentation that
say "several partitions good, one bad" should be updated...
It is intended. I think it makes things somewhat easier for the
virtualization case, and I know a lot of people have been running their
systems with "one-big-/" for years. If it is harmful for some reason,
however, it's easy to change.
I wonder if it is time to start enabling SU+J on non-root filesystems
now?
That's certainly something to think about, although I'll defer whether
that is wise to others. It's a little bit of a pain on the
implementation side, since you can't turn it on from newfs, but that
isn't a serious obstacle.
As of r218726, you can now set this from newfs. (-j)
Ah, wonderful. The decision of whether that is a good idea still rests
with others, however :)
