Add some more standard executables and daemons to the ramdisk. #26

Closed spaletta closed 10 years ago

spaletta commented 10 years ago

Add more standard executables to the ramdisk: dirname, tmux, iked, ikectl, npppd, npppctl, relayd, relayctl, ifstated, tftp-proxy. While at it, clean up for obsolete wicontrol.

Thanks,

I'm really concerned regarding the size of the RAM drive.

Latest build on a Soekris with 128 Mb gave me approximate 40 Mb ram to userland.

We should devide all binaries, one set of requirements and one set of options and a setting to enable among the optional.

Hi Johan,

well, the ramdisk takes up the same amount of memory no matter the actual filesystem usage. In that sense, this change won’t make any immediate difference.

Given that systems with less than 256 MB of RAM can probably be considered (increasingly) obsolete, I would argue to remain with a full set of binaries as the default.

A small default set with an optional addition of more binaries was used in the original flashboot. The problem with this, as I see it, is that everyone needs a different set of features and hardly any configuration that provides less than the full range can be seen as as a good fit for a majority of users.

Thanks –Stefan

Yes, you are right, it will not affect free RAM.

Hoverer, I know that Flashboot still are used on 128 Mb machines so we need to free some ram for that kind of devices.

Need to think about this
