Hi,
I've been trying to find out whether to enable soft updates or not, and
I have not really seen any reason not to, other than that it is not
enabled by default.
In order not to spread (or consume) FUD, I would like to know if soft
updates are considered reliable and in which situations, if any, soft
updates are specifically recommended or not recommended.
Was the answer in FAQ 14.5 insufficient? :)
! "Thus, a large performance increase is seen in disk
writing performance."
- So would mounting async, but I would not use that for
any important data.
! "Note to sparc users: Do not enable soft updates on
sun4 or sun4c machines. /.../"
- I'm on i386.
Yes, FAQ 14.5 was insufficient.
