    I think this matter is documented now.

    I think it could be documented elsewhere or in more detail if someone wanted to
    do so, but that involves someone pointing to a specific manpage or section of
    the handbook, and submitting language.

    The people on freebsd-doc can help, deal with mdoc or Docbook formatting, etc.

    I am willing to end the discussion if there is nothing productive to say.

    > Matthias is right.

    Matthias is right about what? My goodness, you also are aware of people
    talking about softupdates in comparison to journalled filesystems often?

    I've suggested a change to the sysctl's governing the syncer's timing, which
    ought to have a noticable impact on the issues Matthias has brought up.
    Feedback is welcome.

    (I generally am happy to look into changes and see if they are improvements.)

    You're awarded -1 karma for the patronizing tone.
    Feel free to read other threads if you don't like what I have to say.

I'd be happier if you quoted what I said and disagreed honestly with it.
