# ramdisk.sh

# A "ramdisk" is a segment of system RAM memory

#+ that acts as if it were a filesystem.

# Its advantage is very fast access (read/write time).

# Disadvantages: volatility, loss of data on reboot or

powerdown.

# less RAM available to system.

#

# What good is a ramdisk?

# Keeping a large dataset, such as a table or dictionary on

ramdisk

#+ speeds up data lookup, since memory access is much faster than

disk access.

device.

# However, must be root to unmount it.

echo "\"$MOUNTPT\" now available for use."

# The ramdisk is now accessible for storing files, even by an

ordinary user.

# Caution, the ramdisk is volatile, and its contents will

disappear

#+ on reboot or power loss.

# Copy anything you want saved to a regular directory.

# After reboot, run this script again to set up ramdisk.

# Remounting /mnt/ramdisk without the other steps will not

work.
