Then when I do a mount it shows me two mfs devices, each mounted on /tmp, but the bonnie results tell me that it only uses one of the disks. (Yes, they are that much different in speed). Also, I seem to recall that when I used 2.1.0 I never actually used this option, because when I was toying around with it, it made my system run out of memory (8Mb). Back then, I solved it by not using MFS and using the partitions as regular swap devices. Thanks anyway, Kees Jan Koster
