Re: [osol-discuss] RAMDISK performance

2010-05-26 Thread Giovanni
My issue is not directly related to physical hard disk performance (even if that is another point), but on RAMDISK performance. Devsk is right: I am modelling memory performance. A ramdisk without a file system on it (such as the one obtained using the ramdisk create command) is like a raw disk.
