Sorry to quote so much; I was offline most of the day.... Anyway: I am continuing to track both -STABLE and -CURRENT on a daily basis on a couple of machines, one of which is my laptop (a Dell i5000e). I have soft updates enabled for each (UFS) file system. (I set up /tmp as mfs/md; I do not enable soft updates on it.) I have a couple of file systems that are mounted read-write regardless of what I boot (one of which is /var, so I have some assurance that both -STABLE and -CURRENT are mounting the file system and writing to it). (The other is the one that has my home directory, the local CVS repository, /usr/local, and the various /usr/obj hierarchies that correspond to each bootable slice. So yeah, this one gets mounted read-write, and is written to.) When I boot -STABLE, I typically mount all mountable file systems. When I boot -CURRENT, I typically do not mount the root and /usr file systems that I use for -STABLE. I have seen no problems doing this in several months. (Last time I did was because -STABLE's fsck needed a tweak to accomodate a change made in -CURRENT. This merely caused whines and annoyance; there was no data loss.

Wolfskill david_at_catwhisker.org Based on what I have seen to date, the use of Microsoft products is not consistent with reliability. I recommend FreeBSD for reliable systems.Received on Tue Mar 25 2003 - 20:21:31 UTC
