Hello

Back in the days on Digital Open VMS we were using commons to store  
large amounts of data in memory instead of going to the database each  
request. These commons are flushed to disc so after restarting the  
app, the cache is still filled.  
Is there a simular product for a Rails environment on Linux? We are  
using Memcache in Rails, but I can’t see how memcache can flush his  
data to a disc?
