Any thoughts regarding the -R and -m options to prelink, performance-wise? Would -R hurt performance in any way? How about -m (would there be any performance improvements here)? What would be a rough estimation of the number of binaries that cannot be prelinked when using -m on a typical Red Hat server install? If there are no such problems, then perhaps prelink -avmR would be the "overall best" way to run prelink on a typical server, right? (best performance and scrambling the buffer overflows) -- Florin Andrei "The irony is that Windows gets an unfair market-share boost because it is inferior to Linux and requires more installations to do the same work." - Nicholas Petreley
