So, yes, thought is being given...
Sweet... I missed that when I did my quick reading of the new features.
Is it safe to assume the guideline of 1M RAM per 1G of file system to do
a reasonable fsck is still valid?
a non-issue on 64-bit platforms
Whether a system is 64-bit or not isn't very relevant to this - that
mostly establishes what the memory address space is, *not* the size of
integers that can be used by the system.
Ok... insufficient understanding on my part there :)
