Not really. ;-) The one compelling reason to use an md filesystem for /tmp or /var is when you have no swap, and/or your root fs is read only (or read mostly), as with embedded computers, Soekris boxes booting from CF, USB stick, or even mSATA (I wouldn't swap on a partition on an MLC mSATA device). In that case, you most certainly want to reserve the space for the filesystem at creation time. Usually /tmp -> /var/tmp is that case. - M _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
