Well... I was reading about md and the man page seemed to imply that
it was _very_ dependant on what malloc(9) could do ... and it hinted
(or it may be me drawing this conclusion) that md was limited to the
size of pysical memory.
In this particular case, 99% of the time, the program is writing files
that fit into memory. 1% of the time, it writes huge files ... and
I'm aware that the mfs filesystem is probably going to perform worse
when you write to MFS and then swap ...
... but over all, the other 99% of the time should be a _big_ win.
Dave.
