Hi Mark,

I'm going to try putting the filesystem on part of the SAN we have. Failing this I might go for your suggestion about the ram disk.

I've tried doing some tuning with some of the parameters but it does not make much of a difference. I think that's all the performance I'm going to get out of the one drive.

Spreading the load over several spindles sounds the way to go, I think this should give us more tps.

Many Thanks

Ran.
