Hello, if I remember right, somebody wrote a few weeks ago, that with 1.6.x the choices for the cache partition on Linux systems aren't limited to ext2 only anymore. Is this correct? If yes, which filesystems are possible to use (which ones are not)? Does the cache even need its own partition

Last time I used memcache, I had issues with Java applications (Eclipse, SQLDeveloper). They brought the system to high load until they were finally OOM-killed when run under KDE on a machine with 4G RAM (512M or 1G of which set apart for the memcache). In my (limited) experience with
