sugartits, If you use a swapfile on that setup…
Does that mean you’ve literally DOWNLOADED RAM???

@Chewy7324 It seems be fun but the latency should be terrible 😅
aBundleOfFerrets, Once it all gets to ram, you should be just fine
evidences, Latency isn’t the only issue.
it’s slow, symbolic and hard linking don’t work correctly, and permissions and attributes aren’t recorded.
Jolteon, You could have a secondary layer that tarred every file on write, since tar maintains permission flags. It could also fix symbolic linking, but not hard linking. As an added benefit, it would drastically reduce the usefulness of the system.
qaz, What about using a Google Sheets spreadsheet with the file content encoded in BASE64?

harry315, Ladies, gentlemen, none of the above. We have come full circle. The mainframe + Terminal combination is back
Revan343, Mainframes are just other people’s computers
