What do you mean by "softupdates?" Is that a parameter in what I am guessing

Here is quite a good article on the interaction of fsck and softupdates
in FreeBSD:

Having said that, it seems to talk about space lost by unreferenced
blocks and inodes is the context of panic or power outage, as opposed to
normal softupdate operation (unless I'm missing something...)
