The dets module provides disk based term storage. It works as ets
tables, but writes stuff to files instead. So check it out :)

>From what I gather the dets:update_counter function takes 3
arguments.Key, Name and Increment. Increment is either an integer (and
the function then updates the element directly after the key) or a
tuple with {Pos, Incr} where Pos is the postition you want to update
and Incr the amount you want to increment the counter with. Hope that
helps...
