  Interesting... trying to start postgres 7.0.2 with the "-F" simply returns
a list of options to me, as if it can't understand it.  It sure does sound
appealing to me, though.  With a few hundred megs of disk cache (between the
kernel and the RAID controller), I've always wished that PostgreSQL would
take advantage of it when writing. : )
