No those numbers are right although it might have been a checked out FreeBSD ports tree. I just looked at a couple of the volumes we have on our servers and extrapolated the RVM usage. The checked-out freebsd ports collection contains many directories each with only a few small CVS and Makefiles. So the RVM overhead is pretty significant. JanReceived on 2004-11-03 11:39:56
