Hey Rob and Marcus,

Thanks for the responses! I have a basic understanding of linux, but am not very experienced. I tried the following to create the RAM filesystem:

|sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=8G tmpfs /mnt/tmpfs/|
|sudo mount -t ramfs -o size=8G ramfs /mnt/ramfs/ |

And ran the rx_samples_to_file, once with --file /mnt/tmpfs/test.bin, and once with --file /mnt/ramfs/test.bin, both times still getting o’s for overruns.

By my calculations, at ~500 M complex samples per second, each complex sample 4 bytes (defaulting to short for I and Q), that means just 1 second of capturing equates to 2 GB of data. My system has 64 GB of RAM. Am I creating the RAM filesystem correctly? Am I using it correctly?

Assuming that you did a "sudo mkdir of /mnt/ramfs" beforehand,  this should work.
