Hi
Doh! I forgot about tmpfs. That would be fine. I think I should start again.

Hi,
that might be one way, but I don't know if there are any problems if frozen
programs have open files on /tmp or /var, since the processes are resumed
before
any run-level scripts (?).
Maybe I am missing something, but if you have /tmp and /var as
(size-restricted)
tmpfs's when you create the image in the first place, what is the problem
with that?
best regards
Torsten
