I wanted to speed up compilation so i was thinking i could have my files be build on a ramdisk but also have it flushed to the filesystem automatically and use the filesystem if there is not enough ram.
I may need something similar for an app i am writing where i would like files to be cached in ram and flushed into the FS. What are my options? Is there something like this that already exist? (perhaps fuse?) The app is a toy app (for now) and i would need to compile c++ code repeatedly. As we know, the longer it takes to compile when there is a specific problem to solve before progressing. the less we can get done.
