Well, half the day that I have spent on interbase documnetation, I didn't see
any WAL type logs. If transactions directly go to database and entire
database is file, I seriously doubt about performance and recovery.
UML and VMware are emulators. You don't want to use them in production right?
I would really love if UML allowed access to filesystems. A Jail type feature
including access control right in memory. That would really rock but it's a
different story..
