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.
