How can we perform staging in Linux?

[sasimca007]

Hi,
I have a bundle of files and i need to compare those bundle with another bundle, so i need cache memory help here to copy some 10 files into cache memory and then we can perform Compare on those to perform faster.

My question is there any linux command to put a file into cache memory directly like "stage command in FTP"?

sasimca007,

Why bother forcing the ten files into the cache, when Linux will do it the first time the files are read?

You can do something like

cat ~/base-files/* > /dev/null

Which will force a read of the files, but there is nothing guaranteeing that some other system file I/O won't flush the data from the cache, anyway.

Good Luck,
Oralloy
