Hi All, I want to make a ramdisk available to cluster users and I'm curious what your experiences/suggestions might be. I'm adding 40 machines to a cluster that have 24 gig of ram. I'd like to offer the option of allowing some users to be able to run a job on a machine with 20 gig carved out for a ram disk.
The cluster is running centos 5.5 with torque & maui. I expect the user will have to request one machine for the job and have the prologue/eplogue scripts mount & unmount the ramdisk. Are there any success / horror stories that I might be enlightened by? Thanks!
