Virusscanners on Ramdisk

[Jay T.]

Hi all,

Is it a good idea to install the commandline scanners like f-prot and
pandaav on a ramdisk?  When the mailscanner server is rebooted the
necessary files are copied to the ramdisk.  And the viruswrapper files are
changed accordingly.

Will this actually give performance boost ?
Is this stable mission critical applications?
Can this be trusted on high-end hardware (ecc memory) ?
Does anyone have any experience with this in a production environment?

Thanks in advance.
