from 'El Penguino' is that some of the new breed of filesystems may even be considered for 2.4.n, for some non-zero but finite value of n. If Rik gets some kind of memory pressure callback API in the kernel, there is no theoretical reasons why the journalling filesystems couldn't be me

ce. We now have an elegant VM that works reasonably well, but needs more tweaking. What is the point of all this ranting? Think twice before embarking on 'rivaling virtual memory' code. Energies spent on Rik's VM will yield far higher differential improvement. Regards, bert hubert -- PowerDNS
