Going to try the async mount without softupdates on /usr ...where
/var/qmail is a symbolic link to /usr...otherwise i run out of inodes from

So I will go ahead with async and the todo patch from the previous email
someone kindly sent about qmail....see how much performance I can get.
I'll keep you informed.
