In message <3ABF71F4.593D6C48@fokus.gmd.de> Falco Krepel writes: : 1. For example you could use the diskless boot procedure for smart : clients with a small disk used as swap space. So I think it is better to : use swap instead of malloc for var,dev, and tmp. This could be done with : a variable (e.g. diskless_swap_enable). What do think about it? I think it is a bad idea. rc.diskless* is often used in cases where no swap exists. This is a very popular way to run of cf where you cannot configure swap due to excess wear and tear on the cf which has a very limited number of writes.
