If this becomes a major issue for you why not upgrade to 9 when its out then you can have softupdates with journaling and remove most cases where you need to run fsck, or make the jump to zfs. zfs will obviously require a bit more thought. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
