Hi,

I'm trying for days to find out how I can create a ram drive, copy a snapshot on it and boot from this VHD with VBoot 2. Does anybody have any ideas?


Thank you in advance :'(

are you trying to put the diff disk (snapshot) to memory? The current released VBoot version does not support that yet, so I don't think you can do that.

if i could initiate an empty ram disk this should be possible. or not?

I think I'm after the same thing as the original poster in this thread.

I want to run my main OS in one of two configurations depending on my usage for any given day:
- run the entire OS in RAM for speed and general work, any serious work would be comitted to to an attached physical drive, all system changes would be discarded on reboot
- start up without the "in ram" option and be able to make permanent changes

Ideally both of these scenarios would be initiated from a .vhd file.

Any ideas if this is feasible? Getting a system with enough ram isn't an issue.

That exactly what I meant. It's like the inmutable option but running on a ramdisk. And a diff vhd is small enough. That's why people with 4GB memory could use it to. This way would be more flexible than creating a ramdisk in the bs and moving all temporary directories to the new location.
