Hi all,
I'd like to suggest something very important.
*DO NOT LEAK MEMORY* !
I was victim for a quick memory-leak, and because Mail.app couldn't
allocate memory for its preferences (that it keeps reading and writing
all the time), I lost..
1: All my email account settings
2: A bunch of mailboxes (one for an entire email account, yep!)
3: Preferences in Finder (as usual!)
4: Some iTunes preferences
5: Who knows?
Ouch!!!
I have had similar problems, and I solved it by allocating a 1GB swap
partition
and setting it up to be mounted over /private/var/vm. That way, even
if something
leaks memory, I'll always have free hard-drive space, so the worst that
can
happen (And this does happen occasionally) is that the machine locks
solid and
requires a hard reboot. Much better than loosing all of ones email
records.
Beware of the Belkin Universal UPS 800/1000/1200 client. It has a very
bad
tendency to leak memory if the UPS is connected, and chews lots of CPU
cycles when it isn't. yuck
Cheers,
Kyle Moffett
