Well, if I had the time, I would. Also if instead of softupdates,
a proper journalled filesystem implementation with kernel support
for write barriers in the block drivers had been implemented, we
wouldn't have this problem now. Ok, no point in arguing how things
would be if one had made different decisions in the past.

I would think that a significant part of (FreeBSD-) users are running
FreeBSD on desktop PCs, notebooks, etc., where a fibre-channel or
SCSI solution isn't really feasible (either technically, or
economically).
