2001-09-21 Thread francisv

Hi,

What's the new CVS tag for the 4.4 branch? Is it RELENG_4_4 or still
RELENG_4?

It's a bug in sh, caused by CPUTYPE, that screws up handling of the devices
in MAKEDEV.

Re: RE: hw.ata.wc && hw.ata.tags && softupdates short question

2001-09-21 Thread j mckitrick


So, to boil everything down, I have 1 question:

On a workstation LAPTOP (IDE, low load, etc), does it make more sense to use
softupdates, write caching, or both?
