With pretty much any other filesystem, this is *NOT* the case, and you'll have two copies of any data (the copy on the filesystem and the copy in the page cache). This is because tmpfs is the only filesystem that's handled directly by the virtual memory manager, without using a filesystem driver.
Thanks, that makes it very clear, for tmpfs my assumption was wrong. cheers Erich ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
