This sounds like me with tmpfs. Okay, mine don't persist across reboots, but if it's in your build scripts, can't they create a tmpfs and do the builds in that? My system maxes out at 16GB ram, so twice ram per disk as swap gives me 32GB swap/disk by 2 disks gives me 64GB of swap for all my transient stuff. Running gentoo, I need that space to build gcc, LO etc :-) Cheers, Wol -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
