-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Could someone shed some light on what the advantages are of mounting an MFS RAM disk on /tmp? I was thumbing through the kernel chapter in "The Complete FreeBSD" where Lehey talks about mounting your swap partition as a MFS on /tmp. Specifically he says that this will be "useful if you have a lot of swap space that you want to take advantage of[...]" What I don't understand is how or why your swap space will be more useful mounted as a mfs as opposed to not? Thanks for any elucidation, Zach Thompson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 iQA/AwUBOrA6ApCjAI4/vZatEQKSAQCeIr7YBtDSOL8vbr0D3afrtF2mu0UAoLvm k5/9towt0zaYWNfYMtTcWopP =Vlxa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
