For capturing short segments (<500 MB raw data) is a ram disk not
sufficient?

I am having the same issue. When using a ramdisk I get no usrp overruns but
still the output file is empty. When putting the output of each py file in
its own file, I found btl-fsd.py outputs nothing. Are there any obvious
reasons why this would be happening? Is there anything I can do to narrow
down the problem?

This problem has to do with the python interpreter not being able to find
where certain gnu radio files were installed. You can fix this by creating a
file that points python in the right direction. To do this you can run these
commands:

su
echo "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages" | tee
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnuradio.pth
exit

This might change depending on your python installation. The first directory
is the location of gnu radio's python files, the second is a location where
python already looks for files.
