There's even a way to layer a ramdisk over a readonly primary disk, where the ramdisk only holds the changing bits. You gain robustness---the boot always starts from the same pristine image, and nothing is ever written to the primary SD storage; no shutdown is required. You loose modifiability: no changes are ever recorded on the persistent SD storage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.
