Hi,

Thanks for taking a look at my sysctl.conf files....and letting me know 
which lines are relavent in netbsd...

about softupdates + asynch

I thought

# tunefs -n enable /usr
and
# mount -o async /usr /dev/ad0s1f

were two different things?

perhaps I am naive ......does netbsd support both of these?

thanks mate,

pete
