Hi,

don't have a Pegasos (yet), but some questions:

Does MorphOS provide a reset proof, bootable ram disk ? Can it use SFS filesystem ?

Is it possible to diskcopy an image of a harddisk partition to it ? E.g. on th fly using dev-handler:

copy dev:hd0 to dev:myRAD

I haven't tried it, but that's a great question! I'll poke around and see if I can find an answer about the RAD...

Unfortunately not
The reset does reinit the ram.

Hmm, is it at least possible to "diskcopy" the content of a harddisk partition to a ram disk (with fixed size maybe) ?
Or would I have to copy all files (slow...) ?
What about SFS support ?

Well, the speed of MorphOS is really high.
I see no sense in using ramdisk to speed things up

But you could try DiskImage.
I've only tested it with iso images of cd's
(really handy when searching for older versions
of command on MOS-CDs )
but it should be able to handle a read/write-image which
you can copy to ramdisk on each bootup and then mount it.
Just make sure to copy it back before a reboot.

speed of PegII harddisk controller is close to the speed of fastram in a1200. I wouldn't bother with copying anything :)

Hi pOS!

MorphOS does support SFS, and it's 100% PPC

bye

I meant SFS as filesystem for the ram disk ?

I don't want to mirror the partition to a ram disk cause of speed issues. It's about noise. When viewing video or listening to music I don't want to have any background "sound" from the harddisk. On my Classic Amiga I currently use HDSleep.

For RAD it should be possible but not for the ram disk (RAM:).

DiskCopy for RAD should work as well if number of tracks etc are same.

I already thought of that. And I want to try it with a small and cheap CF-Card. But bigger cards (512 MB and more) are still quite expensive...
