I am not too familiar with stack mounting -- how is your solution different from putting all the rrds in tmpfs? I was thinking it would be ideal to put all the rrds in a hybrid tmpfs/regular fs where data is written to tmps and periodically synced to the regular fs. Most folks who put rrds in tmpfs have some cronjob to do this incase of server crash, but ideally this could be dealt with by some fs hooks. Maybe using inotify or something like that.
