Hello Jerry, I must have missed an earlier email from you, but what were you going to use MFS for ? 16mb RAM is not that much when we're talking Unix (especially if you're running X) and that memory might be better used elsewhere. If you have a lot of programs creating and using small tmp files then maybe using mfs for /tmp might help you. Otherwise, leave the work to the VM which buffers your data very well already.
