From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Charu Chaubal Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1999 23:35:47 +0000 Subject: Solaris tmpfs vs. Linux RAMdisk Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ultralinux@vger.kernel.org How comparable are tmpfs on Solaris and /dev/ram on Linux? do they essentially provide the same thing? are there any particular ways in which they should be set up (flags, parameters, etc)? if all I am looking for is a really really fast filesystem on each (for files that aren't huge), will each behave more or less like that? or is there a better equivalent on Linux? ==================================Charu Chaubal charu.chaubal@eng.sun.com Performance Engineer 650-786-7672 tel Performance/Benchmarks 650-786-7323 fax SMCC Desktop Engineering 650-786-7281 lab ==================================
