- Short: Asdg-ram like recoverable ram drive (V2.5)
- Author: Etienne Vogt (vogt@mesiob.obspm.fr)
- Uploader: vogt@mesiob.obspm.fr
- Type: disk/misc
-
- vdisk.device is a driver for a recoverable RAM disk. It started 2 years ago as
- a hack of ASDG-RAM (written by Perry S. Kivolowitz). These hacked versions
- (1.3 -> 1.12) were not distributed.
- As of version 2.0, it has been entirely rewritten, with many new features added :
-
- - Up to 16 units with virtually unlimited size (512 MB)
- - Dynamic memory allocation and (optionnaly) deallocation
- - Full support of all AmigaDOS Filesystems.
- - Will survive the heaviest system crashes as long as its own data is not
- corrupted.
- - In case of a recovery failure, the cause can be reported by a support command.
-
- VDisk requires AmigaDOS 2.04 or higher (V37).
-
- CHANGES
-
- V 2.5 : - vdisk now retries failed memory allocations with MEMF_PUBLIC
- when BufMemType was set to allocate a specific type of
- memory. This should cause less write errors.
- - French doc included after numerous requests.
