anyone know how to implement this?

I've been testing the 1-min polling (thanks to Tekbot for his awesome tutorial) feature, and am now running into server slowness issues...
iostat shows spikes of 7k writes/sec, and I would think this is affecting performance of the server... but then how to set this up, and how to copy the data from the volatile ramdisk to persistent storage...?

ps. Avoid MLC, it's unreliable for RRDtool.

Thanks,

hmm.. I wonder how much one of these go for, and if it has been proven to work in a SUSE environment...

80GB == 2900
160GB == 7200

Not cheap, but if you have a Large system, you need at least one.
