[linux-dvb] /var/log on ramdisk and noflushd

[Robert Schneider/MUC1/Lotus <Robert.Schneider@lotus.com>]

Hi,

as promised my scripts (SuSE 7.1, Kernel 2.4.0, 128 MB RAM)

You have to compile ramdisk support into your kernel.

in /etc/lilo.conf put a line

ramdisk = 20000

at the beginning of your file

in /etc/init.d/boot put this

#------------
#
#    make and mount ramdisk
#    noflushd only in combination with ramdisk
#    makes the drive sleep longer than 20 minutes
#
mke2fs /dev/ram0
mount /dev/ram0 /var/log
mkdir /var/log/news
#------------

after the filesystem check and before the "set and adjust the CMOS clock"
stuff

Get noflushd from http://noflushd.sourceforge.net everything regarding
noflushd is documented in the package.

This all gets me to about one spin-up every two hours if I don't do
something that triggers hard-disk activity myself.

Regards,

Robert
