Hi, IMHO Linux has very good caching mechanism, so there is no need of ramdisks (er, ramfs or tmpfs) in most situations. On the contrary, Solaris is using tmpfs for /tmp and /var/run. I really like this idea, so after Gentoo install I always add none /tmp tmpfs size=64M,mode=1777 0 0 to my fstab. Your preferences may differ. /Ervin -- [email protected] mailing list
