Ramdisk disappears when OSX Lion goes to sleep

[dlee]

I'm not sure if it's the diskutil ramdisk itself that unmounts or if OSX is triggering LogoutHook on sleep. I'm assuming it's the former.

Well, I stopped using ramdisk after switching to a newer dev machine and have been thinking of removing this project from github as I wouldn't be supporting it in coming time, that is, unless someone wishes to take ownership/testing/maintenance work. I strongly advise not to use this on Lion as it hasn't been tested on Lion at all.

dlee, try Esperance DV.

I tried it it also ejects on sleep. :(

dlee, it seems to me now that a ramdisk would eject while sleeping if it wasn't in use before going to sleep (it happened to me once right after I had closed my browser).

sorry, I can't verify it right now.

@097115 What do you mean in use? Do you mean you have to write to the ramdisk after mount to prevent ejection? I don't think that matters since Rambola would always write to the ramdisk as soon as it's mounted to restore data.

I mean placing some real cache on it -- Safari's, Chrome's, Finder's, etc.

Rambola only creates and mounts it, but do not uses.

I'll test it on Lion by this weekend. Would let you know my findings in sometime.

Did someone test this on Mountain Lion? Do you still advise not to use it?

[ideamonk]

I don't use it anymore. So, I wont advise. You could try the script, watch its behaviour without shifting any data to see if it's safe.
