Cache reiserfs file's HD position

dmrauss · 06-30-2011, 12:10 PM

Hi!
I've searched and couldn't find.

I'd like to improve my computer's performance by storing files' system location (e.g.: /home/user/speech.odt) and HD position (head, sector, etc) and do the computer use that info from ram memory.

I have a directory with several files and when I cd and ls it, it takes a while to the computer answer me. Plus, it would return immidiate find results.

Is there a way of doing that?

Thanks in advance.

not quite what you are looking for, but creating a ram disk isn't really that hard

just make sure to copy the file(s) to the real hard drive when you're done with them
