Having said that, this is less of an issue in modern kernels, because the buffer cache often manages to contain temp files so that they don't actually reach the disk media. The actual situation depends on the actual memory pressure on your system, and the specifics of your particular compile (how large/complex are the source files, etc). Just test that. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
