For the record that translates to "Whatever is said in Latin, sounds
profound.". "No dice latina." is another important phrase for me.
I have one aching, giant bug in Sorcery which has been annoying the
hell out of me. That's the tendency for the tarball'd version to run
on a different distribution and demand an "on" spell.
But I'll leave that aside for the moment, because there is (IMHO) a
giant design flaw in Sorcery.
<CONTROVERSIAL-STATEMENT>
The requirement of large amounts of memory in order to support the
mounting of tmpfs's sucks.
I believe it can be done equally as fast, if not faster, employing
chroot and a temporary directory.
Large amounts of memory usually isn't a concern of many programmers
today. Mostly because machines have larger amounts of memory at their
disposal. However, in this case, it's important to remember what linux
was all about. A fast, 32-bit operating system on a non-32-bit chip.
While you *can* run sorcery on a machine with a smaller amount of RAM,
it's silly to do so. It usually implies the requirement of a rather
large swap partition.
Is there any work being done to this effect?
