30 May, 2019 Greetings OpenBSD aficionados,
As a newbie to OpenBSD, I am delighted to have the chance to interact with the OpenBSD Mailing Lists community. Since I am about to install OpenBSD 6.5 (amd64) on a USB Flash Drive for the first time, I was wondering if anyone has a solution to the following conundrum.
In order to minimize wear on the USB Flash memory, is there a way to command OpenBSD to always run in RAM, and at shutdown to either save or not save the session to the USB Flash Drive.
For instance, Precise Puppy Linux 5.7.1 has a package called Puppy Event Manager. Since Precise Puppy is programmed to run in RAM, you can select the 'Save Session' tab and enter the span of minutes for everything in RAM to be saved to the Precise Puppy SaveFile.
Best of all, you can enter 0 minutes to only do a save at shutdown. Perfect for minimizing wear on a USB Flash Drive.
Please accept my apologies if this issue has already been solved. My search so far in sites like https://marc.info has come up empty.
I thank you for your support. Best regards, Hugh
