RE: [Leaf-user] ramdisk_size query for DS 1.0.2
I'm not sure but I think the maximum size for minix filesystems is 64Mb. Try Bering, since it uses TMPFS, there should be no limit for the filesystem. -Original Message- From: Vic Berdin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 7:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Leaf-user] ramdisk_size query for DS 1.0.2 Hello Everyone, I have a need to increase my syslinux.cfg ramdisk_size declaration to a value above 65536. My DS box has 128MB physical ram, and it's currently using 65536, but for database reasons, I'm thinking of jacking this value to 98304.

I would like to know if how do I handle/implement this on a DS 2.2.19 environment (if this hasn't been done yet). I really need to raise my ram disk size to above 64M.

Re: [Leaf-user] ramdisk_size query for DS 1.0.2
Hello Jacques, I figured someone from LEAF would suggest this. For starters, I'll try to minimize/optimize my DS 2.2.19 packages as everything is already well configured for DS 1.0.2 and hopefully create more ram space. But I'll definitely look into Bering's offerings as the 2.4 environment seem quite tempting.

Hello Charles, As mentioned, the size limit for minix is 64M. I see. If you want a really huge ramdisk, you can format and mount one after the system has initally booted. Ext2 would be a good choice for the file-system...you can get the ext2 userspace tools from the hard-disk support packages, and the Dachstein kernels have ext2 filesystem support compiled as a loadable module. If stripping my packages even more will not create the space I need, I will definitely do this.
