With 16 GB of flash partitioning would be at least possible.I think I will use a USB stick. However, all the code for having a RAMdisk should already be available as the new 16GB Flash models all have it.
So it should be easy to add it for models like CCR as well. Our CCR has 2GB memory and it is almost all unused (no internet BGP tables).
CCR1072 does have a M.2 slot.Well, 16MB of course(?).
At work I am replacing the 16GB M.2 Flash modules in thin clients with 120GB modules because of space shortage...
Unfortunately there is no M.2 slot in the CCR (only in the RB1100AHx4).
However, let's not distract from the wish to have a RAMdisk capability in all models. It should be easy and useful.
But that one should have a RAMdisk already. I am discussing RAMdisk on 128MB(and more) flash models, like the RB1100, RB2011, old RB750, CCR, etc.+100
Why this isn't implemented already? I have CRS328-24P-4S+RM, it has 512 MB RAM and only 16 MB FLASH and it does NOT have USB port!
You are right. It was enough just to read the manual. Here is described:But that one should have a RAMdisk already.
I though that "flash" is root directory and you cannot be (or move) outside, but yes you can.Warning: If device has a directory named "flash" in its file list, then files which you want to be kept after system reboot/power cycle must be stored within it. As anything outside of it is kept within a RAM disk and will be lost upon reboot.
Yes, we know that.when your RouterBoard have got a /flash then / is mounted as ramdisk.
It's basic Linux so adding it would be rather trivial.We still don't have a RAMdisk on all routers... I now have a router with 1GB of RAM, 90% unused, still no RAMdisk...
Already mentioned and answered...Yes, we know that.when your RouterBoard have got a /flash then / is mounted as ramdisk.
The request is to make a ramdisk and mount it as /ramdisk on those devices that do NOT have a /flash.
The older router models and the new powerful ones have a lot of RAM and a larger NAND flash so no /flash, the / is the flash, but there is no ramdisk.
Ok, so it was irrelevant. We all know that. This topic is not about that.At RouterOS who have got a /flash folder we have
/ <- root folder is temfs, it's ramdisk itself
/flash <- all files here are at physical nand
I have no problem to TFTP on both direction with all my switches/routers and other devices. Maybe you should do a capture of TFTP traffic and just create a ticket and complain at TFTP itself and not a ramdisk.
