But ...Thanks - I wasn't aware of that setting. But I think my point was missed; if we have VOD content on an origin server, why would we bother caching it on disk? It would create unnecessary disk IO. Is there a parameter to turn off VOD caching altogether? I can appreciate the vod_to_ram_cache_first setting, but once it uses up all available RAM it will begin using disk caching again.Paul Ainsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06805749573575487711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391168021757249257.post-84513418541337704322016-04-10T04:31:09.746-07:002016-04-10T04:31:09.746-07:00actually OS is very smart and it store mapped file...actually OS is very smart and it store mapped files in memory in case it's enough space there. So I'd recommend to keep default ROM storage for VOD even for origin by default. But in case if you want to fill your RAM cache first please set vod_to_ram_cache_first = true in your nimble.conf Poloxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546518664503798123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391168021757249257.post-62642043639653245822016-04-09T13:06:19.080-07:002016-04-09T13:06:19.080-07:00If Nimble Streamer is our VOD origin, how would we...If Nimble Streamer is our VOD origin, how would we turn off disk cache for VOD streaming? There's no point in caching our VOD content at that point since it's already on that server's hard drives. We'd only want that on our edge servers.Paul Ainsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06805749573575487711noreply@blogger.com
