Hi guys, so i have insert 128 gb. Ram into my system and tried the following command:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ram && sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=110G tmpfs /mnt/ram

But nothing has happened… AND how to i take in use:

I currently use the line, but how do I add the Ramdisk to my temp 2 :

./chia_plot -n -1 -r 24 -u 512 -v 512 -t /media/milo/9da83a8b-ee26-4f93-9a78-1a8a412d7399/ -2 /media/milo/e5b81443-9c03-4261-a7ae-ed48c235f132/ -d /media/milo/Elements1/ -p ac6c670c5c2443362049397756e748c5d850016a5b46471ab6921c30738a3772c540fc24296533aa2f60b235121939f9 -f 9034e94f0bf765685e7bab2c133be651c99cedd933059460b2056d2224de70a1019fce457eee28c150f88901a8a6135a

something like

-2 /mnt/ram/e5b81443-9c03-4261-a7ae-ed48c235f132/

That is not the 128 gb. Ram… (Ramdisk)…

You have selected my nmve m.2

This command creates a ramdisk at: /mnt/ram (assuming it was created successfully)

If you want to use it as temp 2 then you need to set -2 to /mnt/ram .

./chia_plot -n -1 -r 24 -u 512 -v 512 -t /media/milo/9da83a8b-ee26-4f93-9a78-1a8a412d7399/ -2 /mnt/ram/ -d /media/milo/Elements1/ -p ac6c670c5c2443362049397756e748c5d850016a5b46471ab6921c30738a3772c540fc24296533aa2f60b235121939f9 -f 9034e94f0bf765685e7bab2c133be651c99cedd933059460b2056d2224de70a1019fce457eee28c150f88901a8a6135a

That is a good question. To check if it was created you can open a terminal and run df -h it should show up in the list somewhere mounted on /mnt/ram.

But it would appear that it doesn’t show up as a ‘disk’, but instead behave as a directory on /mnt/ram. To access using the file explorer go to:

Other Locations>Computer>mnt>ram

If you really want it to show in file explorer you can create it in your /media directory instead.

Note: You might want to remove the previous ramdisk you created first with:
sudo umount /mnt/ram/

sudo mkdir -p /media/ram && sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=110G tmpfs /media/ram

But even this doesn’t show up in disks. I don’t know why.

no that isn’t your name drive

e5b81443-9c03-4261-a7ae-ed48c235f132 is just a made up folder name on /mnt/ram/

sigh

try this

-2 /mnt/ram/

I can’t even unmount it… weird…

You need to create the ram disk everytime you reboot. or you can edit your /etc/fstab to create one on boot. See your other thread.

In the first photo you’re using /mnt/ram as -2, should it be /media/ram now? Which ramdisk are you making?

In the second photo: you can’t unmount it because only sudo can. Run
sudo umount /media/ram
in the command line, or reboot, and it should just dissappear.

I have unmount and mount it correctly now, but i think something is wrong… I have waited like 5 min… And nothing is happening…

You created a ramdisk on /media/ram

You need to update your create_plot command to use it by setting -2 to use /media/ram:

./chia_plot -n -1 -r 24 -u 512 -v 512 -t /media/milo/9da83a8b-ee26-4f93-9a78-1a8a412d7399/ -2 /media/ram/ -d /media/milo/Elements1/ -p ac6c670c5c2443362049397756e748c5d850016a5b46471ab6921c30738a3772c540fc24296533aa2f60b235121939f9 -f 9034e94f0bf765685e7bab2c133be651c99cedd933059460b2056d2224de70a1019fce457eee28c150f88901a8a6135a
