Re: [U2] Why Pick U2?

Is anyone using a RAMDisk with U2 files? I have noticed that there are two types of ram disks within Linux - tmpfs and /dev/ram1 which can be used to create a small file system. Does anyone have any practical experience on these options? Is there an effective option for MS-Windows? Cheers, djm

Well I guess I should rephrase... It is seen as another block device to the OS, Windows, Linux or what have you. So, in Windows it would be a drive letter. In Linux it would be a block device that you could partition and format. I have not personally used it, but, there are folks out there using

I mean using the existing RAM within the system to create and mount a small file system which a temporary U2 file can be created and used; rather than a complete SSD device. John Thompson-15 wrote: > > Its expensive... and it seems fairly safe as IBM, HP, and Dell are all > selling it now...

Yes, but, "old school" ramdisks (i.e. creating disks in existing RAM), aren't exactly reliable if something goes wrong (i.e. power anomalies, bad memory block, etc.). So whatever you would be storing would have to be temporary (which I guess you have already said), AND, you would have to NOT care

keep in mind: SSD drives have a limited number of writes (much better today than before) tempfs do not (or at least I don't think so) SSD drives however usually can store a LOT more than a tempfs file, which depends on your physical memory - You couldn't create a 100GB tempfs if you wa

I found the solution by myself! The problem could be, that the functions 'setRequestHeader' und addRequestParameter' are formatting the data in any way, that the webserver doesn`t understand the request. When I logged the outgoing traffic to port 80, I have seen valuemarks in the header inform

But swap space isn't really memory, it's disk and nowhere near as fast as memory, and (I don't know for sure) probably even far slower than SSD's. In reality, if your creating a tempfs partition for the speed of memory vs disk, then using swap space defeats the purpose. George Gallen Senior Pro
