Everyone,
I searched a lot on this forum but i cannot find the answer to my problem. Im am running a Acer L100 as XBMCLive installation (Athlon X4 processor, 6Gb Ram Nvidia chipset, 500Gb Sata laptop disk). I have an XBMC live installation on the sata disk and all the media files are on a seperate fileserver (Cubestation 6Tb).
Since im only using about 2Gb of hdd space and since heat is a bit problem in this machine i was thinking of running XBMC off a SD card and remove the HDD.
The first problem i encouter is the speed, a SD card is so much slower then a SATA disk.
Since this machine has enough RAM, i wanted to do the following:
Installation:
- boot from a SDcard that creates a ram disk (3Gb)
- Install XBMC live on that ramdisk
- At shutdown write the ramdrive to a SD card
Boot:
- boot from a SDcard that creates a ram disk(3Gb)
- Boot XBMC live from that ramdisk
- At shutdown write the ramdrive to a SD card (for persistancy)
Is there a way to install XBMCLive on a persistant (by writing to SDcard) ramdisk?
