[Gluster-devel] Using RAM-disks as bricks

[Jiri Hoogeveen]

Hi,

I did not tried it. But it is possible.
Create a disk image in /dev/shm

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/shm/disk.img bs=1M count=100
losetup /dev/shm/disk.img /dev/loop0


Now is /dev/loop0 your ram based disk :)

Grtz, Jiri

Is there any way around it? I am trying to make a distributed volume with two ram-disk partitions as bricks but it doesn't work.
