Ramdisks for Solaris

2007-12-25 9:10:00

According to the net there are no ramdisks for solaris (or unix in

general) because of virtual memory. There is a special memory partition

(man tmpfs) that allows a person to set up a memory based partition (it

uses your swap space), but this is not guaranteed to remain in memory.

One option is to by a solid state disk which would be very fast

(www.quantum.com). Thanks to the following folks:
