Currently I have ACT_STYLE set to READ, and while there is a note in the config.data I've got (the one that came with 1.4unoff4 if I remember right) that says ACT_STYLE=MMAP should be ok, but I'm not sure about -DMMAP for DBZFLAGS, and I've read enough stories of both success and failure that I'm now very thoroughly confused. ;-) Anyone? While I'm at it, anyone have luck (good or bad, preferably good) using the ccd (concatenated disk) driver in this kind of setup? I have three 2 gig drives I'd like to combine because INN seems to have a deep hatred for symbolic links on spool disks... Yes, I read the FAQ and have it working, but occasionally I get dangling symlinks scattered across the disk. Maybe I just goofed somewhere, but ccd sounds like it'd be a performance win as well. -- -- Mike Andrews - mandrews@wittenberg.edu - mandrews@termfrost.org (NeXT) -- Programmer/Analyst, webmaster/netnews guy, Wittenberg Univ, Springfield OH -- http://www.termfrost.org/~mandrews/ "Don't get even, get odd..."
