Where can I get more information about such ramdrives? A quick search with
Google has only returned things like "how to create ramdrives from my
computer's RAM".
I would be interested in one of these for use as swap for ARM machines that
are (always?) memory starved. If one could just throw some cheap SDRAM into
one of these ARM boxes...
Are there any potentially hacky solutions, like the [FatSlug][0] for other
computers? This, perhaps, with ZRAM, could be used to alleviate the issue of
running with little RAM.
It seems that RAM is a more or less general problem about ARM, as per the
discussion of the buildd's for armel and armhf qualifications.
Regarding disks, for NASes that have two bays, it seems that using an SSD
with a regular HD, then the [benefits of bcache are promising][1].
