I recently upgraded a few servers following the instructions from /usr/src/Makefile. Now / is always mounted with journaled soft updates. If I boot single user mode and alter it, it has no effect. However, I can alter the characteristics for other filesystems.
Here is what I do in single user mode while / is still read only.
After I mount it, it immediately disregards what I did. If I check the disk again with tunefs -p, neither the disabling of the journaling nor the label are noted.
If I delete .sujournal while / is read write in single user mode, then remount / as read only before tweaking with tunefs(8), no progress is made either.
So does anyone have any advice? Is there a config file somewhere that makes / mount such a way that I missed when doing mergemaster? I checked /etc/fstab and that is exactly the same as before the upgrade.
