Is TMPFS available on FreeBSD 6 or 7?
Or do i have to settle for mfs?
[venting frustration]
The reason i ask is i need something very flexible when it comes to
memory usage as a poor-mans shared-memory feature for a closed source
data conversion app, used only occasionally but with *alot* of data
passing through. By alot i mean it took our quad core xeon 3 ghz with
4 gbyte memory and 4 SAS drives in 1+0 RAID, about a day and a half to
process (on disk).
Simple tests (by others) using netbsd on a single cpu 3 ghz and tmpfs,
it took roughly 70 minutes. Most of which was spent loading and
unloading the data over the network.
I'd really like that memory back after use for other things as this
server is also serving databases with files etc.
I love FreeBSD enough to have run my personal webserver on
FreeBSD-Sparc64 but I don't understand here. If NetBSD does the work in
70 minutes why not do it on NetBSD?

Curiosity got the best of you, huh? :)
I believe the environment could go without the damage this additional
computer would do, in electricity alone, not to mention all the heavy
metals in the computer.
I believe it wouldn't be progress to make the 4x core machine to run an
operating system that, i believe, can't efficiently utilize the hardware
( ( heavy metals + electricity ) / utilization ).
