gmetad is very write-intensive, because it updates hundreds of RRD files about every minute or two. Has anyone tried running it with the rrd directory on a RAM disk (tmpfs) ?
You'd need something to periodically copy the RRDs to a real disk, but that could happen much less frequently (maybe every 20 minutes). You'd also need a more complicated boot time startup procedure to set up the repository on RAM disk before starting gmetad. Have any of you tried anything like this? What'd you do? How'd it go? -- Cos ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
