However, it appears that no one has implemented that particular feature for you yet. Maybe it is because they have better things to do that move 300KB of files from the kernel's caches to a disk filesystem from where it will be loaded into the kernel's caches. That's the key point, that you don't actually save memory by moving the files to a disk unless you are REALLY low on memory, and then you have bigger things to worry about. --=20 Neil Bothwick This tagline is baroque; please call Bach. --Sig_/WsxW6dLXwNGyvJ2Vf=VXbGU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk/D/y0ACgkQum4al0N1GQNLtACbB9Yg8YtjHiieTBI/eK0CTlHw sf8AoJQkXxskfJJjtQfvjEtVw2VFtAqU =KyxN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/WsxW6dLXwNGyvJ2Vf=VXbGU--
