I want to alleviate some activity from my drives by changing the group_home_dir & arch_dir variables for Innodb to a ram disk drive, /dev/shm/. Other than loosing all transactions that were taking place during a box crash, are there any problems with this? If the box crashes (which shouldn't happen) or I reboot the server, I will loose all of these files, Innodb should be able to re-create them with ease though, correct? This should help speed transactions up and alleviate some activity on my over burden drives, I hope. Does anyone have any valid input or problems with this situation?
