No. MFS is great for /tmp filesystems, with transient files (eg, cc intermediate files). With a disc based filesystem you will have the "overheads" of creating and removing directory entries at least. For a normal FreeBSD user the management headache boils down to something like this in /etc/fstab: /dev/sd0s2b /tmp mfs rw 0 0 and "options MFS" in their kernel configuration. Improving the existing code seems to be where the headaches lie. -- Adrian Wontroba, Stade Computers Limited. phone: (+44) 121 681 6677 Mail info@accu.org for information about the Association of C and C++ Users or see <http://www.accu.org/>; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
