= Use RAM in Kerrighed (tmpfs) =

== 1. Introduction ==
Because Kerrighed can merge all client RAM (like shared memory architecture). So we can use partial RAM to be a fast disk. In this article, we utilize tmpfs to accomplish it.

== 2. Check our RAM size ==
{{{
$ top
Each node has 2G, we have 7 nodes. Total RAM size is 14G.

== 2. Use RAM in Kerrighed ==
{{{
We use 7g RAM to be a disk.

$ mount tmpfs /home/ram -t tmpfs -o size=7g
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/ram/tmp_3g.img   bs=1m count=3000
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/ram/tmp_3g.img2  bs=1m count=3000

== 3. Check RAM status ==
{{{
$ df -h
