There are two issues I'm running into. 1. No matter what size I give via the "-s" option, the partition is never larger than 500M. This machine has a 1g of physical mem and 2g of swap. It has breathing room for the 800M I would prefer to make /tmp. 2. Undaunted, I decided to use the 500M for right now, realizing that when I compiled X it would end up having to swap to disk. However, that never happened. The 500m in /tmp filled up, but never swapped any of itself out to disk. For 1, is there some sysctl knob that I can change? For 2, is this a bug or just something funky in regards to FreeBSD's implementation of mfs? Thanks in advance... --Jerry name: Jerry Alexandratos || Open-Source software isn't a phone: 703.599.6023 || matter of life or death... email: jerry@thehutt.org || ...It's much more important || than that!
