Hello,
Has anyone considered putting the spool partition on a RAM drive? I
haven't thought about RAM drives since DOS but for a Store and Forward
server it would mean the messages would never have to touch the hard
drive's I/O system. Right?
Any thoughts or caveats?

Best regards,
Any thoughts or caveats?
The ramdrive.sys from the DDK tops out at 32 MB, I believe, so don't
use that one! We've used the third-party RAM drive software from
SuperSpeed, which works amazingly well as an accelerator. The caveat
is clear: BSOD, power outage, etc. = an unknowable

sure, esp when on an IMGate relay, the msgs typically spend less the 10
seconds in the system.

Without RAM drive my IMGate messages usually see a delay of about 3
secs.
LC the big problem is the size of the ram disk. What
