What I did (and never documented, damn) was to run the buffers off a ram drive in car, then I just periodicially had a script pull the buffers back to the disk. With the quick remounting Hijack can do, it should be possible to do this without any damage to the empeg hard drives. I was tempted at one time to look into putting a symbol on the screen when it was writing to the drives, but I think Rc5 will be long since over before I get time to do it.

Oh yeah, biggest problem with this was when I had d.net running on AC power, and would use emplode. Odds were that eventually my timer would come up and screw with the mounting of the drives. I've asked a few times about ways to detect emplode syncs, but never got anything solid enough to implement quickly.
