Memory --I'm running low
« on: March 08, 2016, 02:58:31 AM »
I just set up a classic workbench install on a new cf card  and it seems it eats more memory than I want it to.  How do I find out where the memory is being used.

I'm running an A600 2meg chip and 2 meg Sram card.  Seems it chews up about 1 meg just loading Workbench

I think my partitions are running 150 buffers.  According to sysinfo.  I don't know if that is correct though because I ran hdtoolbox and it said that there were 30 buffers in each partition.

Well I Finally got my 020 accelerator installed so my memory problems are greatly reduced.  

Jens 020... I couldn't wait for a vampire.

Still I would like to get my memory footprint down so when I run with the 020 disabled.  I will only have 4 megs then.

I'm running PFS3AIO and I seem to be getting CRC errors.   I think  I will switch to my old
CF card and use it a while to see if the errors go away.  It may just be me but it seems like PFSAIO seems to be slower than SFS.

I'm probably going to switch to a lighter workbench than the one I'm using now.

It's funny this version(WB LITE) doesn't automount my CF cards.  I have to go into shell and mount then it works.  I guess it is set up that way.

CRC errors didn't go away.  That leaves the 020 or the CF adapter as a possible problem.  Just ordered a new IDE cable the connect to a known good CF adapter.  Maybe that will solve the problem.

My luck it will be the 020 though.  The thing does get fairly hot.  I will put some sort of cooling on it.
