[Devil-linux-develop] thinking about ramdisk size as a function of installed ram

[Friedrich L. <fl...@fl...>]

Hi!

I was just thinking about making the size of the ramdisk 
a function of the amount of installed ram. See 
  http://www.fl.priv.at/devil-linux/ramdisk-usage.html
about which numbers came to my mind.

What do you think about that? 

Just don't forget that we use shmfs now so the size of the
ramdisk is always as big as much as devil-linux copied in into 
it. The ramdisk size I'm talking about is the max. size the 
ramdisk can get - a hard limit so to speak. So if you've got 
64 MB of ram and the limit is 40 MB but the actuall used space 
in your ramdisk is 32 MB then you've the other 32 MB for your 
programs.

So the numbers in the graphic are a hard limit for the ramdisk
and a minimum for the amount of available memory.
