It is fantastic! Works like a … sword!!! Why sword?! I don’t know exactly. May be because of Darcula theme. This is just first thought what came to my mind seeing the overall results. The Intellij IDEA 12 now works as a lightsaber sword, as a weapon of a Jedi Knight, which you can trust in Java world! ``` ## Features * Requires tmpfs, bash, fstab, rsync, memory :) * Usually, all requirements are available in many Unix flavors * SystemD * Service * Timer * Suspend * RAM disk to HDD * Linux for sure, easy to extend for Unix, BSD, macOS * Should might need some tuning, but the functions are there, I just only tested in Linux. ## Intel Optane I think my ramdisk is faster. Ciao!!! (: # Use case Speed up IntelliJ and development Node. (Tons of files.) The result is that the development is many folds faster. No waiting at all. # Changelog * [Since **v2019.2.1**, BREAKING CHANGELOG](artifacts/readme/breaking-change.md#v201921) # Install ## Warning Do not use the ```$USER``` variable, use the actual username, like ```p3x-robot```. ## So actual install ```text patrikx3@workstation ~ $ p3x-ramdisk install --help Usage: install [options] <uid> Install a p3x-ramdisk Options: -h, --help output usage information -r, --rampath [path] The path of the ram disk, default /home/{{USER}}/ramdisk -p, --persistent [path] The path of the ram persistent, default /home/{{USER}}/ramdisk-persistent -g, --gid [group] The gid, it you omit it is the current user -t, --timer [minutes] The timer in minutes, minimum about 10 minutes, Default is 20 minutes, the best -s, --size [megabytes] Ramdisk in size of megabytes, default is 4096 megabytes ``` # IMPORTANT Trash is disabled in GNOME with p3x-ramdisk. It will ask for confirm to delete data. You might have it in the previous save.
