Posted by Toxicguy, 08-25-2012, 12:51 PM Hi guys! Im hosting some servers for a community of mine, we got about 7-8 servers(tekkit server, faction server eg.) But i would like to increase performance! I have read about "Ram-Disc" and would like to try it out, but just wanna be sure on how to install them and use them. From what i have understand, Ram-Disc erase server data, if you close your server, how do i then keep servers? So a restart etc. will erase it? And how do i install it? Also is their anything i should be aware of it i use Ram-Disc? I use CentOS 6.2 Thank you!
Posted by silasistefan, 08-26-2012, 01:58 PM well, i guess you're speaking about linux so: # mount -t tmpfs -o size=2g tmpfs /tmp If you execute that, DON'T DO IT NOW, your /tmp folder will be stored in memory. You can write in it, up to 2gb of data, thinking that you have that much ram/swap available. When you restart your server, everything that's in /tmp will be lost. You can't recover it. However, you can setup a 1 minute cron to rsync all files from /tmp to /tmp_on_disk for example... when your server reboots, you can do a reboot cron that will rsync from /tmp_on_disk back to /tmp... so you won't lose anything except the last 59 seconds before reboot...
