Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Is there a difference between /dev/md* and mounting a partition from swap. Let me elaborate. I have a swap partition mounted and I have /tmp mounted using the same address as that swap partition. Anything I put in /tmp will therefore be gone upon reboot. Is this what's considered a ramdisk in Freebsd? Or, is using /dev/md* mounted somewhere what's known as a ramdisk in FreeBSD? In Linux, it's the latter. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. -- ***************************** Eric M Logan ericmlogan@mediaone.net eric_m_logan@yahoo.com ***************************** Flames to /dev/null plz. :) ***************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
