I am switching to OpenBSD from Linux and I have questions about the use of softdep and noatime in mounting disks. I have a variety of systems with a mix of SSDs and rotating disks.
Softdep seems to have some advantages in speeding file access, but it is not the default. Are there any downsides in using softdep? On SSDs in particular, is it worth setting noatime to reduce the number of disk writes? Dave Raymond -- David J. Raymond david.raym...@nmt.edu http://physics.nmt.edu/~raymond
