Memory File Systems
Hello,
Jggmi, I was hoping to get some more information on one of your setups you allude to in http://daemonforums.org/showthread.p...ight=mount_mfs I would like to create memory file systems for several areas. Some custom directories, but specifically /root/.cpan and /var/www/htdocs Also any areas involved in building packages. I'm hoping to create startup scripts that will populate these areas with cached copies elsewhere. With rsync I think I can sync the web folder every 5 minutes and be just fine. The CPAN environment much less often, and only during upgrades I think. I'm spending about an hour or so creating servers, and so much of it is initialization in CPAN and subsequent installing of Perl modules. On top of that I have an awful lot of work being done in the web folder, and having it in memory will be a real boost to performance. That's my use case. I'm hoping you can advise me on your setup since it sounds like what I'm looking for. Thanks |

I re-read that old, out-of-date guide -- it discussed a workaround for the MAXDSIZ limitation of the i386 architecture at that time. It's 3GB these days on i386, and 32GB on the now-far-more-ubiquitous amd64 architecture.
And the workaround discussed -- ccd(4) -- was long-obsolete and removed from the OS after release 4.9. Be wary of out-of-date HOWTOs. |
