Hello Jerry,

I must have missed an earlier email from you, but what were you
going to use MFS for ? 16mb RAM is not that much when we're talking
Unix (especially if you're running X) and that memory might be
better used elsewhere. If you have a lot of programs creating and
using small tmp files then maybe using mfs for /tmp might help you.
Otherwise, leave the work to the VM which buffers your data very
well already.

Regards,
