The other day I mentioned I had a problem with a Samba-shared drive that
was just installed blowing up. When I rebuilt it, I forgot to enable
softupdates but the drive seems to be working flawlessly. I understand
it is possible to do this after-the-fact with tunefs. Some questions:
Do I have to unmount the drive to do it?
What benefit will I get if I turn on softupdates?
This drive is being used as a backup drive for all the workstations on
this particular network, and "reliable" is much more important than "
slightly faster".
