A bigger problem is that doing anything with a file uses up 1-2KB PER FILE. If you want to see cfsd grow *really big*, do a "find ." of any large cfs-controlled hierarchy with lots of files. I'd really like to put my MH mail messages under cfs, but I've got too many files (I can't afford having a 200+MB cfsd). The memory is not freed until you unmount (and then, the memory is only free'd for use by other cfs mounts -- the process size does not, of course, shrink). -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
