On FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE I'm mounting a DVD and doing something like this: mdconfig -a -t vnode -o reserve -o readonly -f /dvd/file
so that /dvd/file becomes the backing storage for my memory disk. Now if the system is under severe memory pressure, will this memory get swapped out, causing a read from the DVD? How would I tell the system to never swap this file out of ram, even under severe memory pressure? The idea is to load this backing storage once and only once from the DVD into memory and leave it there.

It sets them up, enjoys them, then falls upon them and devours them until nothing is left. Even the complete consumption of the idol, if it is another human being, is not the end. There are then hundreds of years worth of argument and analysis to be worked through... _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
