- I've used Stacker (2.0 I think) for about 6 months will 0 problems. No
- lost files, not corrupted files. I've got a 200 meg drive with a 1
- non-stacked drive and five 25 meg stacked volumes (which ends up being
- about 50 megs after stacker). The partitioning was kind of stupid, but
- I didn't partition it (partitioned by a relative who set the system up
- for me) and it works, so I leave it alone.
-
- The only problem I can whine about is there are a couple of apps that don't
- want to work with a memory manager and when that's the case I usually have to
- disable stacker to leave enough low memory free to run those apps (as well
- as load the app on my non-stacked partition).
