From 660e6408e6df99a20dacb070c5e7f9739efdf96d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bde Date: Fri, 3 Jul 1998 22:17:03 +0000 Subject: Sync timestamp changes for inodes of special files to disk as late as possible (when the inode is reclaimed). Temporarily only do this if option UFS_LAZYMOD configured and softupdates aren't enabled. UFS_LAZYMOD is intentionally left out of /sys/conf/options. This is mainly to avoid almost useless disk i/o on battery powered machines. It's silly to write to disk (on the next sync or when the inode becomes inactive) just because someone hit a key or something wrote to the screen or /dev/null.
