lurch@sh.itjust.works 7 months agolinux is caching a lot, if there’s enough RAM. you can see it in the output of the “free” command.
however, nothing stops you from moving all the stuff you frequently use to a ramdisk. it’s just uncomfortable copying it over and refreshing it as updates come in. also you may want to persist some files.
personally i have my shader caches on a ramdisk on some of my boxes. the gains are minimal.

mount /dev/vg-ssd/lv-usr /usrBut do it during install or you have to go behind and remove the eclipsed install stuff after.
And don’t do it on systemd-afflicted systems as lennart’s cancer makes that harder because he couldn’t figure out what a /usr directory was important and he ditched it. Dunning-kruger says what?

/usr was introduced because the original UNIX machine ran out of storage space and they had to mount a second drive.
