A cooler option for me would be a hybrid one I guess. One that keeps the dbfile in memory, but saves to disk on stop of fail2ban, and loads it on start, but then keeps in memory again. This has a downside of slower stop, and no persistence on crash, but better performance and persistance across restarts most of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
