I'm trying to optimize some database app running on a CentOS server and wanted to confirm some things about the disk/file caching mechanism.
If you want a fast database forget about file system caching, use Direct I/O and put your memory to better use - application level caching.
Or - if you are doing something like serving web content that can be a bit stale you might put memcache in front of the DB with a few changes in the client access.
