Re: [exim] Hints in Ram

David,

Well, how big is the no disk hints db?

Here are the sizes from one of my two mail servers:

-rw-r-----   1 exim     exim        1.3G Mar 16 13:03 
/var/spool/exim/db/retry.pag
-rw-r-----   1 exim     exim        9.9G Mar 16 13:03 
/var/spool/exim/db/wait-dfr_smtp.pag
-rw-r-----   1 exim     exim         39G Mar 16 12:57 
/var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp.pag

Hi,

I have two questions.

i/ If I put the hints db in RAM what size should I make the RAM disc?
I'm thinking along the lines of 2G. The system has more than enough RAM
and could push this to 5G if needed.

ii/ What happens if the RAM drive fills up?

If anyone can advise me on this it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

David
