IIRC, Linux itself now also has a software variant of the SSD hybrid disk approach. So we could use that on a RAM block device instead of an SSD.
Still we would have the additional layer and workload of swapping. I think that approach is fairly ok as a quick solution to get the BigRamPlus working, but it seems to me that the setup will be somewhat awkward... ;)
I mean that we would waste more memory too, due to the Z3 RAM being far fromNo, but we would have more memory to waste for this. Excluding 8 MB for this from 128 MB does hurt more than 8 MB out of 384 MB. ;)Remember that there were problems with loading 3.2.0-4-amiga without the memfile.Yes, going out of memory when allocating the page table arrays? That won'timprove when adding 256 MiB of Z3 RAM in the far end of the physical address space...the rest of RAM in the address space.
Can't the MMU map the memory as needed? -- Ciao... // Fon: 0381-2744150 . Ingo \X/ http://blog.windfluechter.net gpg pubkey: http://www.juergensmann.de/ij_public_key.
