Peter, > I asked back on May 7th about how to set up a RAMdisk on FreeBSD. FreeBSD has (at least) two types of VM backed filesytems - mfs and md. See the man pages for details. I use mfs via a single lines in my fstab: /dev/ad0s1b /tmp mfs rw,async,noatime,-s=65536 0 0 /dev/ad0s1b /var/run mfs rw,async,noatime,-s=2048 0 0 > Does the online handbook have some good write-ups about how to make it > work? I quick look through the contents should have brought section 12.4, "Network, Memory, and File-Based Filesystems" to your attentition. It only mentions md and is brief. -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
