    This request lacks sufficient information for us to evaluate it. It might not be considered further until it has been revised and clarified. Please provide information on what is the requirement about the RAM disk mentioned in the RFE.
    Is the suggestion to use primary memory instead of secondary memory for temp files?

    Also please add more information on point 2 in the RFE.
    'Any configuration for boosting RAM disk & SSD generate temp file.' -
    We could not understand what the the requirement. RBD cannot change RAM configuration. Need more clarity on the request.
    Is the request to provide more documentation on the suggested configuration of RAM?
