I guess I was a little off here, it actually worked for / also See further below for the whole story This was all done remote with ssh $ mount /dev/da0p2 on / (ufs, local, soft-updates) devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel) /dev/da0p3 on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/da0p4 on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/da0p5 on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) $ su Password: root@osebart:/usr/home/Freebee # rm /.sujournal root@osebart:/usr/home/Freebee # rm /var/.sujournal root@osebart:/usr/home/Freebee # rm /tmp/.sujournal root@osebart:/usr/home/Freebee # rm /usr/.sujournal root@osebart:/usr/home/Freebee # uname -a FreeBSD osebart.ose.nl 9.1-RC2 FreeBSD 9.1-RC2 #0 r241106: Mon Oct 1 18:26:44 UTC 2012 r...@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 >>>> This is a task for mfsBSD: http://mfsbsd.vx.sk >>>> >>> Hmm, I think you have to make a trip or get some kind of remote >>> console over ip. >>> I tried it remote on a 9.1-RC2 system that has / /tmp /var and /usr >>> as seperate partions >>> For / i can do a mount -o ro / and tunefs -j disable /dev/da0p2 then >>> mount -o rw / >>> For the /tmp /var and /usr filesystems this does not work bcause hey >>> cannot be remounted ro while they are busy. >> A quick and dirty way to do it would be to edit /etc/rc.d/fsck and put >> your tunefs commands at the bottom of fsck_start(), then do a reboot. > Very nice :) Thanks a lot! > I tried this and can confirm it works. > _But_ not all partitions are soft updates without journaling now. > It didn't work for the / partition, I guess because / is mounted rw > before /etc/rc.d/fsck is executed. > For the / partition I guess I will really have to be at the console > starting single user, because mount -o ro en then disable with tunefs -j > disable did not work either.
