Re: Building with a RAM disk

2014-07-18 Thread Benoit Jacob
I have a plain old mechanical disk too, but I have 32 G of RAM, enough that disk access is not relevant to my (unified) build times. After a build, I have 12 to 14 G of RAM used for cache, so I suppose that disk performance is still relevant if you have <= 16 G of RAM, yeah. Benoit 2014-07-19 1:

What OS are we talking about? (On Linux, ramdisks are mountpoints like any other so that would be trivial; but then again, on Linux, the kernel is good enough at using extra RAM for disk cache automatically, that you get the benefits of a RAMdisk automatically). Benoit 2014-07-18 22:39 GMT-04:0

Today I tried to build Firefox on a RAM disk for the first time, and although I succeeded through trial and error, it occurs to me that there are probably things I could do better. Could someone who regularly does this make a blog post or an MDN page about their workflow and some tips and trick
