Hi,
I'm sorry to bother you but I need to ask some questions pertaining to Linux ramdisk support. Most of the information I've found concerns installation/boot floppy usage but I have a different purpose in mind. I'm using the Squid Proxy server which generates several log files: access.log, cache.log, etc. The idea is to have Squid maintain these log files on a ramdisk that has been formatted (ext2fs), and mounted in appropriate location. I'm able to format and mount the ramdisk. Initially Squid happily maintains the log files on the before mentioned ramdisk. However, during periods in which the proxy server is experiencing heavy usage the kernel is generating error messages such as:
Oct 17 01:18:26 Kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 01:01, sector 16890 .. .. .. .. .. .. 16892 .. .. .. .. .. .. 16894
I would appreciate any help or advice. I listed the commands that use within rc.local to format and mount the ramdisk at system boot.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram bs=1k mke2fs -vm0 /dev/ram 16384 mount -t ext2 /dev/ram /usr/local/squid/ramdisk
Kernel version: 2.1.30 pre3
Thanks, Scott Gray
