Good description. We store a copy of our entire customer database in the /dev/shm. This help us have very fast lookups. Also, we point our applications (and webservers) to use /dev/shm instead of /tmp since our app builds and deletes many small temporary sort files. -eric wood -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
