Re: Volatile RAMdisk

Not even when an image was set?
If so, what's the use of the image?

Re: SCSI vs Direct IO

Re: Volatile RAMdisk

I CAN create a RAMdisk with backing image and volatile on. I can do exactly what I want. So no big issues at all. I just find the terminology conflicting. The way I see it, the volatile option can be removed from the interface. It serves no purpose. The image option does that already. Sure, you are ...

Volatile RAMdisk

I'm no longer sure what a Volatile RAMdisk is.
For me it's a disk that gets distroyed when rebooting.

Smart image saving

Automatically saving the image is an important thing for me so I set that option. I assume Primo Ramdisk locks the RAMdisk while saving the image to avoid corruption? The RAMdisk will become unresponsive for a while. My request is this: Assume the standard autosave time of 1 hour. The image gets sav...

Re: Speeding up a database

Well.... :-)

I installed the program. All works fine but I can't find an option that configures this:
You can have it load the image at boot when kernel level drivers are being loaded, yes. It increases boot time, but user-level processes won't load before the RAMdisk is available.

Re: Speeding up a database

When you say "RAMdisk is available" do you also mean the image is loaded to the RAMdisk?
