Hi all, If I rapidly rewrite a file, for example: while true; do echo foo /foo; done; Or for example: #!/usr/bin/perl for (1 .. 10) { MyStuff::Util::writeFile('/root/foo', $blah); } The filesystem eventually says filesystem full. Obviously those are corner cases because I am rapidly

congrats on OpenBSD SAN... one little question

Congrats on the cool OpenBSD SAN installation. I was wondering how you are dealing with the relatively large filesystem. By default, if you lose power to the server, OpenBSD will do a rather long fsck when coming back up. To alleviate this, there are numerous suggestions running around that
