d7fb353a43 Re-introduce the fix that delays mounting of network filesystems until
the network is initialized.  This was first implemented in rev 1.268
of src/etc/rc, but was backed out at wollman's request.

The objection was that the right place for the fix is in mount(8).
Having looked at that problem, I find it hard to believe that
the hoops one would have to jump through can be justified by the
desire for purity alone.

Note that there are reported issues surrounding nfsclient kernel
support and mount_nfs(8), which currently make NFS an ugly exception
to the general case.

With this change, systems with non-NFS network filesystems configured
for mounting on startup in /etc/fstab are no longer guaranteed to
fail on startup.

c9686721ef o sysctl.conf cannot be used to set sysctls that are present in
unloaded kernel modules.  Remove the example linux compat sysctls
  because they break if the linux emulator is loaded as a module, rather
  than compiled in.  Add a BUGS entry indicating as much.

b2e2e310fd o Softupdates is now enabled by default on non-root file systems. Update
language about softupdates to reference this fact, as well as slightly
  moderate the "recommend Softupdates for use on all filesystems" to
  "most filesystems" so as to be consistent with what sysinstall selects.

3626f83327 Update the default newfs block and fragment sizes from 8192/1024 to
16384/2048.

Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon
and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when
the default was bumped up from 4096/512.

This should provide significant performance improvements for most
folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and
wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.

For discussion, please see the following thread in the -arch archive:

Subject: Using a larger block size on large filesystems

The discussion ceases to be relevant when the issue of partitioning
schemes is raised.

2204f3ce42 Long ago, there was just /etc/daily. Then /etc/security was split out
of /etc/daily. Some time later, /etc/daily became a set of periodic(8)
scripts. Now, this evolution continues, and /etc/security has been
broken into periodic(8) scripts to make local customization easier and
more maintainable.
