Hi Marc This is what Knoppix already makes: during boot creates /var/lib/pgsql as a link to a ramdisk (maybe do you mean something different with "memory fs" ?) Just now with pg_resetxlog (thanks god there's the net) I have cleared the pg_xlog dir: 112MB --> 16MB and this is a good first result. Still continue to experiment...
