Idea for a 68k patch/commodity: DDBS
« on: June 13, 2006, 04:42:01 PM »
Hello.
 I had an idea the other day which i like to share with you. DDBS stands for dynamic disk buffering system and it is a hypothetical proggy which increases the disk buffers of a device/partition only when it is accessed, by a given amount of buffers and when it's not accessed, DDBS drops the buffers of this device to a minimum.
 The purpose of such patch would be to keep memory consumption of devices to a minimum and it would be particular useful for people who have a lot of partitions on their system.
 I'm not a coder so i don't know if this is feasible, neither if it will cause other problems like increased memory fragmentation. (very likely) I'm just throwing the idea.
