Some perfomance benchmarks at 5.3 release cycle showed that the way nullfs works is suboptimal, also file backed memory devices are very slow, but I'm no developer so I can't explain you exactly why. Perhaps someone had a look at this in the meantime, I didn't do any tests since then but I also saw no commit log which indicates that people were working on that. -Harry > > /Daniel Eriksson > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
