Hello.
I've got a i386/6.1 box with only one big root partition.
The problem is that, whenever the machine is not properly shutdown, fsck
on boot takes eons.
That is one of the reasons for not making the whole system
one big root partition. It will not finish booting until root
is

Then, back to the heart of the problem, why does it take so long? It's

mount
/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
Note that / does not have soft-updates, which I believe is the default.
AFAIR, fsck can not do

So, as jerry said, it's a Bad Idea to have just one partition, for many

Ok, I know that. Still this wasn't the point of my request. I've been

OK, I agree that this doesn't sound like a hardware problem with the

Ok, thanks for pointing it out, anyway :)
