[Gluster-devel] Using RAM-disks as bricks

[Ian Latter]

Hello,


  The limitation on extended attributes is the file system. So you should be fine if you use the right file system;

    mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/ram1 65536
    mkdir /home/ramdisk
    mount /dev/ram1 /home/ramdisk

  My current distro runs a root file-system of EXT3 in a ramdisk, but I don't share gluster from that FS.  Should be good.

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.
