So, you think this is what is contributing to my problem? Yeah, I have 
never ran tunefs on the RAID 5 system running FreeBSD 5.2.1. Is this 
what you are suggesting? Below is my current partitioning, how risky is 
running tunefs. I'll have to go to the server location of course and 
want to be sure of what to do and should I wait until a Saturday in case 
something were to go wrong. From what I've read, I should run 'tunefs -n 
enable /filesystem' for soft updates?
