True, that's what i was saying. But if there is not enough memory, it's not only one process that will hang. It's everything. So i think that adding pressure on the RAM, which is absolutely not as aboundant as disk space is a mistake, for a generic configuration. If you know that you aren't going to hit that high memory allocation then.. free to use tmpfs. -- Salvo Tomaselli -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
