Sara Angeloni 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@paul_cS" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>paul_cS</span></a></span>. I think I rebooted the computer between benchmarking and adding the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ramdisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ramdisk</span></a> to the /etc/fstab. In effect I made a ramdisk, benchmarked it, rebooted and then copied my files on the /mnt/ramdisk location of my M.2 NVME instead of RAM itself. At least this is what I think happened. And because it's a good one the I/O speed difference wasn't enough for me to notice.</p>
