Right now, I have a server with 1GB of RAM doing a make release for me, where 99% of it will occur in memory. What I'd _LIKE_ to do is have the "R" directory of the release really be a physical media, so, should a machine errantly reboot after a build, at least I have the finished work on disk. Originally, I had the "R" directory as a symbolic link to a path I wanted it stored in. Unfortunately, it appears that make world not only deletes it, but also chroot()s at some point, so the link is invalid anyhow. What I was thinking was to use a vn device to mount a file as a filesystem under R. I wanted to a) Make sure that'd work, and b.) Get any pointers in to the release make file so it wouldn't get deleted and recreated... -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
