> Do you mean a RAM disc? Yes.
> And how about using NFS for backing up the logs? Sure. It's another tool for the collection. I see two problems with NFS. The main one is that I'm not familiar with it and what happens when things go wrong. It seems like a step in the wrong direction. It's adding another complicated system to the dependency chain. The other one is size. If your NFS isn't working, you only have RAM for a buffer. Flash disks are generally bigger than RAM. (It might be cheaper/simpler to get more RAM.) In case anybody isn't familiar with this area, they make flash "disks" that plug directly into IDE connectors on the motherboard. That makes the mechanical packaging clean - no cables. DOM, or Disk-on-Module is a good term to search for. For example: http://www.memorydepot.com/details.asp?id=DOM4GV40 There isn't any power on the 40 pin connectors so they aren't as clean/simple as the 44 pin versions. If you look carefully, you can see the extra wires for power in the upper left of the second picture in the above URL. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
