I have a journal with about 1million lines in it - going through it page by page is fine, but trying to skip a few hundred thousand lines or search for e.g. /^Mar/ takes ages. Is this normal?

From what I recall of conversations on factory, yes.

You can either host the journal on a SSD or extract a static text version as needed to search through.

Do we have some filesystem that runs on disk with a heavy dedicated ram cache? tmpfs spills over to swap, but that is not what I mean. I mean a filesystem that works mainly from memory, but with full copy on disk so that it is permanent, and at the same time fast because requests go to ram first, and only when needed, go to disk. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
