Why VMIO dir works better if directories are placed close to each other? I think it only makes the cache data of an individual directory stay in the memory longer. Is there a way to measure the effectiveness of the disk drive's cache? The real performance gain is seen when doing stuff with

Another important change is that it is no longer necessary to run tunefs in single user mode to activate soft updates. All that is needed is to add the "softdep" mount option to the partitions you want soft updates enabled on in /etc/fstab." [.] I especially like not having to run tunefs

Hi, I'm not convinced that the patch will help. It looks like the error is because it's using the ppp.lo that was built with crypto support but without the mppe bits. Maybe other objects (such as ccp.o in this case - which seems to be built with HAVE_DES and therefore includes

Do you mean that "add" PPP command now intentionally broken for any address excepting *ADDR? Then, what is the reason to have numeric argument there? Or do you mean that PPP must be fixed now? Where is the fix? I mean that: 1. If you use HISADDR, ppp(8) will automatically re-add
