Generally, a mailserver doesn't benefit from softupdates, because it will wait for "committed to disk" signal from OS, to prevent mail from being lost. Over time you will also get a good idea of what kind of mail you're dealing with and tunefs(8) might be beneficial. It's one major reason I dislike "/data" mountpoints containing all different kinds of services. Over time budget and usage have a way of conflicting and you'll be happy to get any extra performance outof your machines. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
