| Quote (curaga @ June 12 2008,12:48) | It compresses better than either of cloop and cramfs. It's pretty much evolved cramfs, and it has none of cramfs's limitations (8bit gids/uids only, or max uncompressed size of 256mb) nor the biggest flaw in cloop (you have to have enough ram/swap to fit the entire unpacked fs for either packing or unpacking)
Oh, and ramzswap is swap in a compressed ramdisk. So you're trading some cpu time for more ram. Since it's the deflate algorithm, you can get about 24mb of stuff to fit in 16mb of ram. |
3:2 compression? So for 64mb actual ram, you get 96mb. For 128mb you get 172mb. That's awesome.
Too bad it needs 2.6.x (.17 according to one report), so only tinycore would be able to use it.
The project's name is actually compcache http://code.google.com/p/compcache/
ramzswap is just the name of the block device it creates.
