I was thinking about using the flash memory plugin (since I temporarily use a 32gb SD card through usb 3.0) as my boot drive for OMV. I checked https://bintray.com/openmediav…iavault-flashmemory/view#
There is no documentation on the readme or the release notes.
1. Does the plugin turn of all writes to the whole SD card(even the extra space not used by OMB o/s)?
2. Plex has to encode the media file before serving it up to the client. If plex was using the boot drive to encode the media, where is plex going to encode the files now? (i.e. Ram? My external USB hard drive containing my movies?)
3. I have 16GB of ram, I see barely about 2gb of usage. How much more ram wil be used by the flash memory plugin to stop writes to my SD card? Is this dynamically allocated based on total memory or usage, or is it a fixed amount?
4. After the flash memory plugin is installed successfully, is there a downside to using this?
5. Is the Ram drive that the flash memory plugin creates allocated for other uses? . I.e. For plex movie art, database, cache, etc?
