[QUOTE="mrspock, post: 738838, member: 82522"] Hi. As nobody else has answered, I decided to try it. So I installed the 4Gb RAMDisk and configured Timeshif. I will report here the results. One extrange think I have just noticed is the Timeshifting configuration and the way it calculates the HD space needed. I don't know if I missunderstood something or the drive space needed provided is not correct. The TV-Server configuration says the following: [LIST] [*]Minimum files: 20 [*]Maximum files: 62 [*]File size: 64 Mb [*][COLOR="DarkRed"]Drive space needed: 1344 MByte[/COLOR] [/LIST] My calculation was: [LIST] [*]Minimum files: 20 [*]Maximum files: 62 [*]File size: 64 Mb [*][COLOR="DarkRed"]Drive space needed: 4032 MByte[/COLOR] [/LIST] I think that the drive space needed should be [B]maximum [/B]files * size + overhead: 62 files * 64Mb + 64MB = 4032. But TVS config calculation is [B]minimum [/B]files * size + overhead: 20 files * 64Mb + 64MB = 1344. I think that the space needed should consider the maximum number of files that could be created, nor the minimum. Am I wrong? Witch one is the correct? Is this calculation a bug in TVS config? If I am wrong, could someone explain the reasons? Thanks, [/QUOTE]
