In that case, merge /tmp into the swap partition, and mount it via mfs like so: /dev/da1s1b /tmp mfs rw,nosymfollow,nosuid,-s=262144 0 0 which creates a 128 meg /tmp as a swap-backed memory file system. I don't think you can turn on softupdates. On the other hand, you don't really care, as data doesn't get written to disk unless it's swapped out anyway. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
