 I'm building up a box outta spare parts i had laying around. I'm
 really looking for a FreeBSD port of noflushd (
 http://noflushd.sourceforge.net/ ) or something that'll do the same.

Why would anyone _not_ want disk writes to be written to disk?  Use a
ramdisk if you don't want to touch the drive.  I'm trying to think of a
use for this program.

The noise of the constally spinning HD does bother me. I sleep rather close to my 
computers. With that application/program, the HD would be spun down when not 
needed/inuse. If i had enough ram to run everything off a ramdrive i would attempt it. 
Right now I only have 3x64mb laying around.
