> Doesn't this do the same thing as MFS? Good question. Bad answer: See the web page. It is quite different. MFS provides a memory-based file system at the "disk block" level. It's kind of a backend to FFS, so you can't really get control of vnode operations the way you might like. v9fs is more like the "malloc file system" we talked about on this list a while back. Compare the source for the two systems and you'll see what I mean :-) ron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
