Ram behaviour with UAE

Hi all,

I have this line in my .uaerc
filesystem2=rw,RAM:RAM Disk:RAM:,-1

When I boot UAE, is displayed in the console:
EXECUTE: Can't open "T:Command-0-T1"
function not implemented
execute failed returncode 10

Then, when I do:

>dir ram:
T (dir)
Clipboards (dir)
Command-0-T1 Command-0-T1
>dir ram:
T (dir)
Clipboards (dir)
T (dir)
Clipboards (dir)
Command-0-T1 Command-0-T1
Command-0-T1


and everytime I do a "dir ram:", its content is doubled.

Do you have the same?

@Elwood

I don't understand why one would do that?
There is a ram disk already present when you boot in WB.

About the error:

Seems like something tries to start a file (saving the command in T:) but fails due to the mixed ram disks

@Elwood

if you really want to access your ram disk in euae try:

filesystem=rw,A1_RAM:RAM:

@Severin

I tried your proposition but it still do doubles when I do "dir A1_RAM:" many times...

Of course, it's not a big problem. I just wanted to post it here for record purposes

@Elwood

have you asked Richard about this ?

@alanwall

No because it's not that important but now I did.
It may hide another problem in the filesystem handling.

@Elwood

The latest EUAE also SEEMS to leak memory, does anyone else have this problem. I just want to make sure it is not just me before reporting to Rich.

Running a wb seems to take up a?almost all the available fast memory and only releases some back when booted. Trying to run Amikit drains almost all memory fast.

@Elwood

Thanks for the report. I'll take a look at the problem.

Yes. It does. I haven't studied this problem on OS4.0 much, but the Linux version definitely does leak memory, so it's safe to assume it does on OS4.0 too. It's on the fix list.

@evilrich

It looks like file are not closed or unlocked when rebooting UAE, at least this is the problem I?m having whit E-UAE.

@evilrich

Thanks Rich, I didn't want to report unless it was just me.

Hi @acefnq

Wow, I didn't realize the leak was that much. I just
went from 165Mb to 95Mb in a wink. What's a normal
configuration?

@Snuffy

I normally use a bog standard 2mb chip and 8 fast ram and this works fine for almost everything. However, I started playing with Amikit, I have it running but the memory issue kills it.
