Ramdisk problem

    Halihó! Greetings to all of you! (with google translator)

    Amiga1200, 4000 after the PC era. Torture, etc. After a hackintosh trial, I decided to get one of the Mac Minis I could still find. I registered MorphOS. I'm glad now.


    My question would come now, I hope one of you can answer it. MOS also creates its own Ramdisk, just like the amiga s creates a Clipboard, Env, T directory based on the instructions given in the startup sequences. Well these "disappeared" from the MOS Ramdisk, of course only their visibility disappeared. A directory with the same name cannot be created, so they are there but not visible. The biggest problem is that dopus4 can't show it either and therefore it doesn't just turn the hourglass.

    Do any of you have a meaningful idea? It was a long time ago in the amiga era, then professionalism went into troubleshooting, so it takes over fifty times for the memories to return.

    Thanks!

    @ medcare - I too was going to add that you should try the right mouse-click menu option, or use the Switch view button if you are using "browser" window mode (Ambient Settings> Window > Browser Mode option -> checkmarked/ticked) on MorphOS, to swap from "Icon" view -> to "All Files" view, and then once you are happy with that option choose snapshot.

    I think that is merely the problem - the RAM disk has the ENV:, Clipboards, and T: directories in there by default, you just cannot see them as you have Icon view set as your default, which I prefer to be set in Ambient Settings (same windows option as above) as "Thumbnails" or "All Files" with the option to "Inherit view mode" also checked/ticked for that reason. 8-)

    Pity you've not had any response from the Hungarian MorphOS users so far, but hopefully this will help. 8-D

    Thank You! But. On the list ram: instruction, I got an endless bist. About this:

    Env:

    It was as if the make command had jumped into a loop. Therefore, RamDisk is not available and will restart the system. Idea?

    Thanks!

    I'm afraid is is very hard for us to understand what the issue might be. Use of translator is not helping.

    I think I got this kind of situation years ago, and IIRC it was because there was one broken file in Sys:Prefs/Env-Archive/ directory (which gets copied to ram:env/ at boot).

    Try to hunt down if there's a broken file. For example, look at file dates and try to move files that have changed recently to some other temporary directory. If those don't change the situation, continue moving other files away from the env-archive directory until you find a file that affects. Then move everything else back from the temp dir to get your system about as it was before.

    If you can't do this from the currently installed system, boot from the MorphOS installation cd/image and do the file handling that way.

    Only last week did I aptodate the system. Afterwards I just detected this Problem. I checked which files had more recent data and copied all of them in another library and deleted them in original ENV archives. Now I'm trying step by step all these files back into the ENV archive library. And of course look and be careful. Now the computer does not produce any errors.
