Okay, then memory * 1.25, with a minimum of memory + 256MB, and a maximum of memory + 1GB. > A base value + memory size sounds better. As you proved, you need a lower bound of usefulness. But you also need an upper bound, and when it comes to things like logfiles and other things you might want to store in /var, the larger the memory on the system the larger the logfiles, etc... are likely to be. Therefore, a multiplier based on memory is more likely to be useful than simple addition. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles_at_skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
