Hello
I'm thinking to put db files in RAM instead of hard disk for performance reasons.
FreeBSD ( and Linux thought ) provide some utility to build RAMDISK ( md )
I did some tests in rebuilding db files with the slapcat/slapadd commands
with RAMDISK
ldap3# time slapadd -l test.ldif /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 110: rootdn is always granted unlimited privileges. #################### 100.00% eta none elapsed 20s spd 633.9 k/s
WITH HARDDISK
ldap3# time slapadd -l test.ldif /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 110: rootdn is always granted unlimited privileges. #################### 100.00% eta none elapsed 04m22s spd 48.4 k/s
Does anyone runs production servers with ramdisk ?
I know it is risky but running rsyncd between ramdisk and a hardisk depot would be safe huh ?
Thanks for any advices
