Is this possible without swap or a file to back/initialize it? I've checked the docs and mailing lists and haven't been able to turn up much. There's mention of loading via module at boot, but this looks like it needs a file. Thanks, dave. -- David Phinney Systems Administrator Interactive Netcasting Systems Inc.
