According to Dr Josef Karthauser: > I guess I should have been a bit clearer, I mean without any external devices backing them. Seeing as this is to be running on a VPS/Xen at a hosting environment I'm not able to add any additional devices. It will work even w/o anything added. I've run an amd64 VM for several months like that. > I'm not memory starved however. Is it madness to use a memory disk? (The instance in question will have 6gb of ram total to play with.). You could use an md device to serve as a cache but with only 6 GB, just let ZFS use whatever it needs. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.net In memoriam to Ondine, our 2nd child: http://ondine.keltia.net/
