Has anyone ever mounted their /var/lib/mysql on a tmpfs or ramfs? Are there any performance gains to be made doing this?

A foolish idea to me. You imagine what happens if the machine hangs up?

I wasn't going to say anything because he used "mount", not "create", "generate", "make", etc. I presummed he just wanted to mount the directory there. No harm, but no goin either. In fact, a very smal teensy-weensy loss probably, due to the extra step to get to things.
