Did that with a symlink.  I always do that.

My frustration is that I have this really fast RAID subsystem
connected via fibre channel to a Sun X4100 with 20GB RAM and AMD
Opterons.  I don't seem to be able to squeeze out the update
performance I really need out of it.

I'm wondering if it is all the FK checks that are slowing me down...

Thanks for responding to help me out.
