Oh, but if you don't plan to move your frozen penguins, then freeze them into VDISK and let VM page out those VDISK pages when it makes sense. Just hope the ice water does not cause SWAPGEN to wipe out the VDISK (but the same applies to the swap on ECKD permafrost platters) PS I fear that by Friday this analogy has gone way bad ;-) -- Rob van der Heij Velocity Software http://www.velocitysoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
