Subject: jffs2 compression question
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2003 14:10:10 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <002001c30514$f78e78a0$150a0ac0@jbmsoft.com> (raw)
Hi,
I have jffs2 running on a 2.4.20 kernel custom Embedded box with 16MB ROM
(Intel flash) and 32MB RAM. The file system is about 52% full, and has
about 22MB of free RAM. When I copy 4 ~1.6MB programs over to the ROMFS I
loose about 3MB of space with compression. The system however also uses
another ~3MB RAM once the files are done being copied. My question is, when
does (if ever) that 3MB RAM get freed up? If I delete the files I just
copied, the RAM appears to be freed up. If I reboot the unit, the RAM gets
reset back to the original 22MB RAM free.
Thanks for any insite.
-Brian
