Hi Justin,
Well, that's a relief. I had visions of the virtual memory filling up
and the system switching to hd swap memory and it filling up and then
boom! In effect, what you're saying is that Linux has a built in
RAM-disc and uses it (presumably with a RAM index) to avoid unnecessary
hard drive calls. I'm guessing it still has to check the disc index each
time to see if there is a match between the RAM disc and the actual
sector, yes?
Best regards,
Frank Hilliard
