[Toolserver-l] RAM disk?

Hello all,

I searched for a bit but can't really find any advice on this problem.

I'm in the conceptual phase of a new bot but it requires a bit of
processing. Unfortunately the only way this processing can be done is by
writing out two small files.

However, the processing should be very fast, and after it's done the
files can be trashed. For that reason, I don't think it's very logical
to tax the hard drive with this processing.

Instead I was hoping to find a small RAM disk on toolserver that I could
use which would act like a file system without the hard drive
performance issues. Unfortunately, I didn't find one.

Is there (a) a RAM disk-like option on the toolserver, (b) a way to
request that one be made, or (c) a reason I shouldn't even bother
looking into this and just use real files instead?

Thanks for any input,
- -- Shirik
