I try to find a suitable reading/howto for how to enable softupdates
on
UFS2 filesystems. As I could see, SU+J is enlisted to be enabled by
default in 9.0-RELEASE. What is the status quo of that?
I've several active systems running UFS2 on their system disks while
data/home/mass storage is ZFS. Are their any issue with SU+J?
well, the captitalized letters confused me first time, since the first
newfs-option
I hit was "-J", the option for enabling softupdate via GEOM gjournal.
Is there any special preparation to bring up an existing filesystem
securely into
journaling? As I read the blogs and emails in the list, it should be
as simple
as booting into single user mode, enabling on all partitions in
question (even / ?)
via -j softupdate-journaling, runing a foreground fsck, reboot ...
that's it? Or
is there any other additional preparation like mentioned in gjournal
(async mount)?
Thanks for patience and repsonding,
Oliver
