You could use swap-backed devices. They are very similar, in both cases you are writing into ram backed by swap. I doubt it will work, I think raid works at the speed of the slower device. You need to be careful how you benchmark it. Your raid array will have the unfair advantage of starting with preloaded data. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
