using mount -f with softdep to alleviate long fscks

[Joe Advisor]

Hello,

I have my filesystems mounted softdep...

/dev/wd0a / ffs rw,softdep 1 1
/dev/wd0f /home ffs rw,softdep,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/wd0e /tmp ffs rw,softdep,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/wd0d /usr ffs rw,softdep,nodev 1 2
/dev/wd0g /var ffs rw,softdep,nodev,nosuid 1 2

... and I've read that if you use softdep, fsck is
only necessary to recover lost disk space ...

... but when I pull out the fsck (basically 
commented out lines 87 to 119 in /etc/rc and do 
a -f on mount as suggested ...

128c124
 mount -a -f -t nonfs 
---
 mount -a -t nonfs 

... I get kernel messages  panics on hard reboots.  I
clearly am missing something.  I would be grateful if 
anybody had any suggestions.

i don't know what you're missing, but we are missing any sort of
useful information that could be used to help you.
