Hello, the stable version 1.1-0 of ScramDisk for Linux has been released. It has reworked the kernel driver and now handles input and output requests in separate kernel threads for each container. Thereby, input/output errors are fixed which occasionally occured in previous versions under heavy load. Moreover, handling of large containers of 2 GB and above has been fixed. Finally, the passphrase input lines for scramdisk containers are now restricted to 39 characters each. This was 40 characters previously. By this change full compatibility with the windows scramdisk v3.01r3c is achieved This version is available for CentOS, Debian, Fedora, SuSE and Ubuntu distributions. It comprises a kernel driver scramdisk.ko (scramdisk.o for systems with kernel 2.4.x), the graphical user interface scramdisk and four small utilities sdcreate, sdchange, sdmount and sdumount. After a container has been mounted any data could be read from or written to the file system inside the container ransparently with help of the driver scramdiks.ko. By unmounting the container the file system becomes inaccessible again. This can be done by the Mount and Unmount buttons of the graphical user interface or by sdmount and sdumount. The kernel version is part of the filename of binary packages and must match the kernel version of the system it is installed on. Best regards Ulrich |
