Yes. May be we need add new type to md device, like "highmem", to access memory above 4G as memory disk, and as consequence use it as swap-device or as fast /tmp/ partition or whatever ? In this case we will be able to use more than 3Gb of RAM. =20 > Thanks! =20 --=20 Vladimir B. Grebenschikov vova@sw.ru, SWsoft, Inc.
