    TMPFS and RAMFS generator

    My old script was not only out of date but ineffective. This is just an easy RAMFS or TMPFS generator script so you can make temporary filesystems out of your RAM. This script is very effective compared to my old one, and more advanced. I would recommend this to anyone who wants high-performance disk read/write speeds.


    Download the rt-fs.sh script for the main program. Run in terminal like: "bash rt-fs.sh"

    For those of you who are running Ubuntu version 8.10 or older and want to make your RAM become EXT2, download the ram2ext2.sh script.

    There is only one known glitch, and that is sometimes the maximum size won't work. If that is the case, drop the size by about 2MB and you should be fine. The math in it isn't perfect and I didn't get to test this on a whole lot of systems.

    well all a graphical interface will do is have a question pop up to ask if you're sure you want to unmount, then have something pop up to ask you for a password and another popup to tell you that its unmounted. its slower to code, slower to work with, and slower performance on the system if i make a gui for this. by doing a command line theres much less work involved. you can always create a launcher with the command:
    bash -c "cd ~/ && bash unmount.sh"
    and have it run in terminal.

    If you think it should be in the software center you can help me promote it. Considering that it isn't the most user friendly tool, I'm not sure if they'll bother with it.
