Cannot create 300GB (gigabyte) ram disk on Win 10 Pro
Posted: Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:19 pm
Hi
Please help.
I cannot create a 300GB ram drive. I am getting the blue screen error (BSOD) after restarting with the new ramdisk settings. The specific error is "inaccessible boot drive". I have to perform a complete whole disk restore from a stable backup to recover from the error.
Currently, the workstation is stable with a a 100 GB ram drive. I need one large temporary ram drive. I do not need to reload an image or anything. I do not want to create multiple ram disks since I need one large ram disk to run my disk intensive application. My goal is to create a 350 GB ram drive and have 34 GB available as ram.
I have 2 configuration options that I use (Direct IO and SCSI). All other settings are not used. I had to restore my system 9 times to identify this issue.
My system is
Supermicro server with X9DR3-LNF4+ motherboard
Dual Xeon e5-2660
384GB of ram (24 x 16GB dual rank 2rx4)
Samsung 850 Evo 1 TB
Windows 10 Pro with automatic upgrades enabled
Using Ultimate Edition v5.70
Ramdisk settings
Basic settings -- Disk size is 102400 or 100GB, Direct IO
Substance settings -- no changes, use default settings only
File system settings -- File system is NTFS, cluster size is default, and check the box for Disable NTFS indexing
File system advance settings -- no changes, use default settings only
Image settings - no changes, use default settings only
Please help.
