fusecompress on knoppix-data.img?

[dinosoep]

kl522, I have been studying that specific script a little bit back and as you predicted, I don't understand it . I'm used to object oriënted java but I should consider learning bash xd.
What I wanted to do was check for every file in the ramdisk if a process was using it and if not copy it to the knoppix-data, remove from ramdisk and sync.
This should happen when the ramdisk is over 100 mb ever 2 minutes a check.

That link you posted is indeed a way more elegant solution and I'm going to aply it too

You can use 'lsof' to do it and probably that's the same scheme which is used by Puppy.

But you have to know that it is still not 100% safe. Because a file system allows concurrent access, at one moment your check says the file is not opened, but as soon as you start the copying and deleting the copy on the ramdisk, another process starts opening it for modification or deletion. You can imagine it will result in various confusion to your file system.
