But what about other applications that use > /tmp? Could they benefit from a /tmp directory mounted on a tmpfs > filesystem? programs that use the filesystem from a realtime audio thread are incorrectly written. a system that allows disk i/o to interfere with a realtime audio thread is badly configured. ergo, i would conclude that the only realtime audio programs that can benefit from this sort of thing are either badly written or running on a misconfigured system. JACK itself isn't doing any file I/O - it just happens to use an inter-process communication system that uses identifiers that are related to the filesystem. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
