AmigaOS on Tour 2003 : Comment 67 of 86 | ANN.lu |
Posted by corpse on 19-May-2003 16:43 GMT | In reply to Comment 56 (Atheist2): "Well, I did a search on google
suse linux ram disk"
Linux ram disks aren't the same as the ram disk in AmigaOS, Ram disks in Linux are filesystem images that are loaded into ram and mounted. They're usally used for installation and by initrd kernels(the ram disk is a small chunk of os that the kernel boots instead of the root partition so that one can be more flexible with their kernel config and have for instance the root filesystem as a module).
"Couldn't get any solid lead on how to make one, other than, it's a fixed size, and edit some file somewhere to make it. Some guy was saying he needed to give it a hard number, at compile time. Yeah, a feature for the common user to take advantage of."
There is no real need for ram disks in userland in a *nix... any temp files are put in /tmp which is cleared on boot just like the ram disk in AmigaOS but you have the advantage of not using system memory and as much space as /tmp to work in.
"For me, to have a real computing session on a computer, I MUST have a ram: and sometimes rad: drive."
I think it'll be impossible to implement a RAD: drive on PC's and the like because everything gets stripped out on reboot opposed to the Amiga's soft reboot where it basically just resets the OS leaving everything else intact. I'm not sure, but IMHO I don't think RAD: will survive a reboot via the motherboards reset switch on the amigaOne :\ |
