Feature suggestion: Move spool to ram #276

Closed modem7 closed 3 years ago

modem7 commented 3 years ago

Given the size of the spool folder being quite small, would it make sense to move the spool directory to RAM?

This would speed things up, and reduce any r/w operations to an SSD (not so much of an issue these days).

Potential issue: if a system is due to shut down, spooled files may be lost.

Potential workaround: shutdown cronjob to move files from ram mount to disk, and startup cronjob to move them back.

I'm an idiot. It already is.
