Hi All! I'm interested in running memcached on top of a block device (high perf solid state PCIe thingy) to increase cache capacity but still maintain decent latencies. I don't care about the non-volatility of this device as much, just the size and speed. Has any work been done towards pointing memcached's cache at a block dev? I poked around at the source briefly.. looks like it plays much better with RAM (as designed).. but maybe mmap wouldn't be out of the question, too, if I'm going to have to DIY this.
I can do centos5 or ubuntu9, don't expect either to raise any flags here. I apologize for not knowing a ton about this, please go easy on me :) thanks a lot! Mitch.
