I wonder how creating a raid1 device composed of a real block device and a ram disk would serve in this regard. Has anyone tested this?

- ars 18y agoIt would be pointless. Just let linux cache the data and don't worry about it. If you must, cat all your database tables to null (i.e. read all the data in them) a few times, then you'll be sure they are in memory. If you used a ramdisk you'll be paying double: once for the data, and again for the cache.
