RapidDisk 7.2.0 now available

by Posted on
RapidDisk is an advanced Linux RAM Disk which consists of a collection of modules and an administration tool. Features include: Dynamically allocate RAM as block device. Use them as stand alone disk drives or even map them as caching nodes to slower local disk drives.

I just tagged release version 7.2.0 on GitHub. It is a decent sized release. The changelog notes the following:

  • module: Updated for 5.12 kernels and later (thank you Michael)
  • utility: remove unused headers (thank you Marcel Huber)
  • add CLI support for dm-writecache wrapper
  • utility: Fixed property check bug when parsing sysfs block subtree params (github issue #55)
