tmpfs for /tmp and /var/tmp I can imagine, but for a proxy cache, WOW. Talk about kicking ReiserFS's (or any other FS on a disk) butt! Hahaha. But then I can think of one catch: you lose your cache on reboot. Other than that if you've got enough to spare for an extra gigabyte of RAM, that'd be a cool cache, although probably a little small (?). --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
