Now I'm well aware that once the machine restarts or shuts off all data in memory is lost; my question is: will using mount_mfs with the -F option allow changes to the database to be written back to that file [the asynch option?]. Sans using a cron job or some shell script hack, can I mount a database to memory and have updates written to file while when accessed, its read from memory? thanks - aarong -- Powered by Outblaze To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
