Re: [evlog-dev] about installing event logging in a RAM disk

Hi Yi,

Happy New Year!

1. The purpose to install eventlog on RAM disk is to supports diskless
environment, where the entire system is booted off a NFS mount or from the
system ROM.
2. 8M is our recommended size, but it would work with 4M if it is fitted
:-)
3. Thanks, this must be an oversight.

Best regards, Hien.

Hi,

I recently followed the steps in the online How-To Installing event logging
in a RAM disk <http://evlog.sourceforge.net/RAMdisk.html>. Here I have some
questions.

1. What's the purpose to install event logging in a RAM disk?
2. Is it a MUST to set the ramdisk size to 8Mb in all platforms? I used an
i386 arch with the default ramdisk size 4096k. I didn't find any problem
installing the event logging.
3. The directory in the last line of Step 6 should be "/opt/evlog/plugins"
instead of "/opts/evlog.d/plugins"

Thanks,
