Creating a ram disk on Linux @goldilocks, hrm.. nevermind... I could have sworn it used to grow automatically if you tried to write past the end, but it doesn't seem to now. |

Is there any performance penalty to having multiple segments for one volume in LVM? @jhfrontz, that is what it means to be on the same cylinder, just a different head. |

Does the sudo user need a home directory? @goldilocks, well, you can login without a home directory, but you get a very broken session. Not having a home directory on your account would be stupid and pointless and points to a fundamental misunderstanding of what's going on. |

How can I dump the full system memory? So you are going to dig through gigabytes of data looking for a few kb of text that may not even be there? Needle, meet haystack. In the time you spent on this you could have just retyped the text. If there was that much in the first place, then you should make sure your text editor is configured to periodically save a backup so you don't lose much if it crashes. |

Does the sudo user need a home directory? Of course the user has to have a home directory, or you couldn't log in as this user in the first place, so you couldn't run sudo. Also you know when you have the power to break the box not because of who you are logged in as, but because you ran sudo to obain that power. |

Is there any performance penalty to having multiple segments for one volume in LVM? @jhfrontz, that could happen if the gap is small enough, but in practice, it is going to be many mb, which will be far enough that it won't be on the same cylinder. |
