After looking at the mount man page I am a bit confused, one of the examples is mount -t mfs -o nosuid,-N,-s=4000 /dev/wd0b /tmp This looks like what I want to do but isn't /dev/wd0b the swap area on disk and not in memory? Anyway, I said what the heck and tried it with a directory named /ram rather than /tmp but got back an error message about operation not supported by device. So, how do I create a file system in memory? Thanks. -- <A HREF="http://www7430.nrlssc.navy.mil/7430/people/beck.html"><em>Jeff Becklehimer</em></A>
