Feature Suggestion ;) tmp folder
Posted: Fri 21 Apr 2017 3:38 pm
Steve, how about creating a /tmp folder (other names are available) under the Cumulus structure, and direct all the transitory file writes to this folder. I'm thinking the processed <filename>tmp files, JSON files, realtime.txt etc.
If they were all created in a single folder then it would be easy to link this to a RAM drive and avoid having all that IO on the main drive. Whilst not an issue for 'proper' computers, this would a benefit for those running on Raspberry Pi type architectures, especially those running on simple SD cards which tend to wear out!
