Does any one have an example of how to setup a 1.5 Gig Ram disk on FreeBSD 6.1? I can't seem to find any good documentation on it.
Keep in mind that with UFS2 short lived (AFAIK < 1s on average) files won't get written to disk if you have enough RAM.
I setup sendmail with Mimedefang 2.57 and Spamassassin 3.1.4. If I load test it and run more then 5 or 6 concurrent email messages it eats up all of my processors and brings my server to its knees. I am running it on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 with 2 Gig of ram. I am planning on adding more Ram if I can figure out the Ram disk. I have seen wiki with setting up a Ram disk on FreeBSD but I believe that was for version 4.
See the mdconfig(8) man page: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mdconfig&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASE&format=html Though, if it's eating all your processor time, it's unlikely to be a memory bottleneck. I'd suggest you look at what you're running the mails through - it's most likely a problem there. -- Please keep list traffic on the list.
