Has anyone ever attempted to load the MySQL data files on a ramdisk? I trying to get this to work. First I will create the ramdisk (about 1.5 gb or so), and copy the MySQL data folder to it. Then, I will start MySQL and let it use the data on the ramdisk. I will setup a cron job to copy the data files to disk every 10-30 minutes or so. Hopefully if this works, it should be blazing fast...
