According to Dr Josef Karthauser:
> I guess I should have been a bit clearer, I mean without any external devices backing them. Seeing as this is to be running on a VPS/Xen at a hosting environment I'm not able to add any additional devices.
It will work even w/o anything added. I've run an amd64 VM for several months like that.
> I'm not memory starved however. Is it madness to use a memory disk? (The instance in question will have 6gb of ram total to play with.).
You could use an md device to serve as a cache but with only 6 GB, just let ZFS use whatever it needs.
