Like I said in other mail (paraphrasing) "Seems like this >ought to be a VFS, but I don't really care" Yes, it ought to be a filesystem, but until struct buf is relieved of it's intimate knowledge about disks, it is not possible to do it using the UFS layer, which makes it a pointless excercise in cut&paste to write a proper TMPFS. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
