<p dir="ltr">I am having great success running a full ACID install from a ram drive.</p>
<p dir="ltr">My machines run 4gb RAM no hard drive. I boot from a flash drive into the RAM Drive. My configs are stored in a 2nd partition on the flash drive. </p>
<p dir="ltr">My /etc/fstab mounts the 2nd partition to /mnt.</p>
<p dir="ltr">My configs are copied from /mnt/etc/asterisk to /etc/asterisk every time the machine reboots.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I like this approach for many reasons. The main one being file system integrity. If my flash drive dies I replace it with a back up.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The whole node runs from ram. I have no glitches. If my system gets hacked nothing is permanent, rebooting cleanses the file system.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If anyone wants more info just ask.<br>
I will share my work with anyone who asks...</p>
<p dir="ltr">This will NOT run on a BBB or RPi</p>
<p dir="ltr">This build is for a dual core Intel. Specially the Atom processor. But should run on any dual core processor.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I run this build in my HP T5745 THIN CLIENTS.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The filesystem is 1.7gb compressed down to about 450mb.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I use a 2gb flash drive and have lots of room left over</p>
<p dir="ltr">My next project is to rebuild this system using DIAL.</p>

I grabbed the DIAL ISO and attempted to overwrite my fairly virgin ACID distribution. After complaints about buffering the install hardware search functions started. The network started (IPV6 and IPV4). The disk partitioner started but them complained that there was "No Root File System".<br>

This is a Dell 960 with dual 250 GB drives. But, they are configured in the disk controller as a RAID 1 appearance (I did my ACID install as RAID 1). Does the DIAL distribution allow for RAID Controllers?<br>
