Just a side note: on most operating systems you can create sparse files, which do not occupy disk space. For example: $ truncate -s 10g foo $ ls -lah foo -rw-r--r-- 1 mdounin mdounin 10G Sep 11 18:08 foo $ du -sh foo 96K foo This allows to create huge zero-filled files even in very constrained environments. -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/ _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
