6GB ramdisk for timeshifting (1 Viewer)

[benjerry]

Hi tourettes. I have something weird with the number of timeshift buffers used. I've configured min = 12 and max =12, but tv-server is using only 11. Space is no problem. I could copy one of the 11 into the remaining space.

Does tv server logs show any errors?

Did you check the correct functioning of the ramdisk? Like filling it with some files until it's full?
Did you try restarting tv-service?
Any errors in the log files?

Benjerry, there's something I don't understand: your system specs state that you have 2 GB RAM, but you said you created a 8 GB RAM disk, so it would mean that Windows is going to swap most of your RAM disk to the hard disk... or is there something I missed there?
I thought the point of a RAM disk is when you have an enormous amount of RAM and you want to force temp. files into RAM instead of trusting Windows' disk cache.
Or is this product a hardware card with RAM on it?

I have a multi-seat setup here. Unfortunately, it's not possible to enter multiple pc's in the system specs. I mainly entered the livingroom client there, except for the dvb card. TV-server has 8gb with 6gb ramdisk. Client has 2gb.
