for ram disks is as a convenient way to pass data between components
BTW, we seem to be talking a lot about RAM disks. I was told today that RAM disks don't perform quite as fast as many people expect them too (they are still much faster than regular disks). So perhaps we should at some point try it. Also, I mentioned that in some other emails earlier, some Linux distributions seems to have a problem with ram disks larger than 0.5GB Jacek _______________________________________________ LSST-data mailing list [email protected] http://www.lsstmail.org/mailman/listinfo/lsst-data
