Volatile RAMDISK w/ a backing image - possible? [SOLVED]
Posted: Sat Jan 05, 2019 6:58 am
Hey there,
Looking around the Primo Ramdisk interface trying to do something very specific here. In jist, I've a need to create a **volatile** SCSI RAMDISK that I will not need other than occasionally (will not be used on most boots of the system). I've attempted to do this, which the UI allows entry wise, yet it would seem my RAMDISK image is 'not loaded' at creation-time.
Is there any way to load a RAMDISK backing file post-creation and without a reboot for the volatile case? Is this intended behavior for a disk to be fresh initialized (if the specified backing file already exists)?
Thanks!
