My dw architect recently suggested that I create a tempFS "ramdisk" to increase performance. Honestly I have no idea what he is talking about. I am not sure he does either. When googling I am getting information that just confuses me. Does anyone here know what he is talking about? Oracle 11.2.02
Redhat 5.4 64bit
500gb ram

Creating a disk allocation to use as RAM? That sounds like swap to me.

Creating a ram allocation to use as disk, that sounds volatile to me.

If am not making any sense, please ignore :)

Have a good day.
