You are probably right, I get writing speeds with a 1 gig file ranging
from 429 MB/s to 4,6 GB/s depending on how I play with the DD command.
That should be more than sufficient.
(Is your disk access light on solid during tracking?)
Oh, here did my not so perfect English make me a little dizzy, I don't
understand that meaning. Could you rephrase it for me, please? :-)
However, as for using a ramdisk...sure! I've heard others say not to
do
it because you lose your work if the machine crashes, but I've never
once had my machine crash during recording ever, so it doesn't worry
me. You can setup a tmpfs device of whatever size you like and record
to that, and forget about disk latency, if that is indeed where your
current problems are coming from.
I totally agree machine crash is a no topic. I also never experienced a
crash during recording, only program crashes.
Thank you for your help, I think I will investigate further and try to
solve the problem by checking the system deeply and I'm going to play
with a ramdisk anyway! :-)
