A RAM disk is a world-writable directory stored in memory. A server with excess RAM can reduce disk I/O by serving content from this RAM disk. Accessing content from RAM is much faster than reading data from the disk. LSWS will use this RAM disk to optimize performance when there is enough memory available.<br/><br/> (The RAM disk must be designated in your OS setup before it can be used by the web server. Many Linux distributions assign /dev/shm as a RAM disk by default, but these settings depend on your OS.)</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>path</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="shmDefaultDir"><h3>Default SHM Directory<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#shmDefaultDir"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Changes shared memory's default directory to the specified path.
