Re: [Exim] RAM disk for hints database?

Michael,

I have found that this works GREAT under Solaris. Make a RAM disk partition
and keep everything in the "db" directory on it.

However, when I try the same thing on linux, I don't see the same boost. I
think that Linux's file buffer cache works about the same. Plus, this leave
more room for processes to run.

We have about 250 exim processes running at any given moment, so the RAM on
the machine is being used for their "not too small" footprints.
