You know what would be uber helpful? To post a one- or two-sentence summary of what RapidDisk is and what it does in every announcement. I wish all FOSS projects would do this. |

Quoting: I wish all FOSS projects would do this Excellent point TC. Sort of like what KDE.org does on the front page when there is an update to any one of its applications. Scroll down and to the left to see some samples. Example: "Stupid file browser menu" A simple file browser that lives in the systray. Features: Browse the local file system.

@pkoutoupis, Reading from the RapidDisk main page, I see this: Quoting:The rxdsk module has been designed to allocate from the system's memory pages (as it needs it and not all at once during creation) ... Does that mean that the ramdisk is dynamically sized and resized to be only as large as the sum of the ramdisk's contents? Just like an Amiga ramdisk? If so, that is fantastic! |

@tuxchick You make an excellent point and I will be sure to do that from now on. Thank you very much for the advise. @djohnston I already replied to your mail, but I will also post the reply here for everyone else to see: "That is exactly what that means. According to the block subsystem, on volume size queries, it will only return the created size of the volume. That is, if you create a 2GB ramdisk, it will always report a 2GB size, but if that same 2GB volume only has 100 MB of data in it, it will only consume 100 MB of system memory and add more memory pages as you write more data to it." |
