I had always assumed the use of softupdates was safe as long
as you could have reasonable assurances that the machine would
not be shutdown without warning. (i.e. no loss of power or reset
being hit).

FWIW I run softdep on ALL partitions except / and /var and have for
many years. I exclude /var because on a crash I want the best chan

Even if you do mount a special partition for the logs only of httpd and
mount it softdep? On a busy site the logs are growing pretty fast at

I've just stumbled across the SoftUpdates section in the FAQ, and was rather
surprised that I had never seen/heard of this feature before. Before
I mount any
partition using softdep, I thought I'd google, browse the archives, etc. for any
information about when/where they should be used.
