I don't think that a 64MB large memory file system is realistic. Our mfs implementation is a hack, the size will only grow and never shrink. So the /tmp size should not be larger than 1/2 size of your RAM. A too large mfs may be o require much much more swap space o trash the machine due extensive swapping o made disk i/o slow if the files are swaped -- Wolfram Schneider http://www.apfel.de/~wosch/
