Subject: a 15 GB file on tmpfs
Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2005 14:16:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200507201416.36155.naber@inl.nl> (raw)

Hi,

I am not sure if I can ask this here but I could not find any other place 
where I could fine anyone with this knowledge.

I have a 15 GB file which I want to place in memory via tmpfs. I want to do 
this because I need to have this data accessible with a very low seek time.

I want to know if this is possible before spending 10,000 euros on a machine 
that has 16 GB of memory. 

The machine we plan to buy is a HP Proliant Xeon machine and I want to run a 
32 bit linux kernel on it (the xeon we want doesn't have the 64-bit stuff 
yet)

Thanks in advance,
Bastiaan
