I don't think he wants swap backing; I'm going to be that his system will have no swap, in order to avoid write cycles using up his flash... he probably just wants a small amount of volatile storage for /var/run, /var/log, and /tmp, with everything else mounted read-only to avoid the access timestamp updates. -- Terry _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
