# Enhanced tmpfs Information Display
|
|
|
|
## 🎯 **What Was Enhanced**
|
|
|
|
### **1. Detailed Setup Information**
|
|
The one-button optimizer now shows **exactly what it's putting into RAM**:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
📋 tmpfs Setup Details:
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
🔧 Created tmpfs mount points:
|
|
📁 /tmp/tmpfs-cache/browser - Size: 4194304k
|
|
📁 /tmp/tmpfs-cache/ide - Size: 2097152k
|
|
📁 /tmp/tmpfs-cache/packages - Size: 3145728k
|
|
📁 /tmp/tmpfs-cache/thumbnails - Size: 524288k
|
|
📁 /tmp/tmpfs-cache/development - Size: 2097152k
|
|
📁 /tmp/tmpfs-cache/kde - Size: 1048576k
|
|
|
|
💡 How to use these optimizations:
|
|
|
|
🌐 Browser Cache (/tmp/tmpfs-cache/browser):
|
|
• Chrome: Set cache to /tmp/tmpfs-cache/browser/chrome
|
|
• Firefox: Set cache to /tmp/tmpfs-cache/browser/firefox
|
|
|
|
💻 Development Cache (/tmp/tmpfs-cache/development):
|
|
• NPM: npm config set cache /tmp/tmpfs-cache/development/npm
|
|
• Pip: export PIP_CACHE_DIR=/tmp/tmpfs-cache/development/pip
|
|
• Docker: Configure build cache to use this mount
|
|
|
|
🎨 IDE Cache (/tmp/tmpfs-cache/ide):
|
|
• VS Code: Link ~/.vscode to /tmp/tmpfs-cache/ide/vscode
|
|
• JetBrains: Configure temp/cache directories
|
|
|
|
🖥️ KDE Cache (/tmp/tmpfs-cache/kde):
|
|
• Baloo: kwriteconfig5 --file baloofilerc --group 'Basic Settings' --key 'Indexing-Enabled' false
|
|
• Thumbnails: Link ~/.cache/thumbnails to /tmp/tmpfs-cache/kde/thumbnails
|
|
• Plasma cache: Automatically used by system
|
|
|
|
📦 Package Cache (Automatically configured):
|
|
• APT cache is already bound to /var/cache/apt → tmpfs
|
|
• Reduces SSD wear during package operations
|
|
|
|
⚡ Performance Benefits:
|
|
• 🚀 Faster cache access (RAM speed vs SSD)
|
|
• 💿 Reduced SSD wear and tear
|
|
• 🧹 Automatic cleanup on reboot
|
|
• 🔋 Lower power consumption for cache operations
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **2. Enhanced Final Status Display**
|
|
Shows detailed usage information:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
📊 Current Optimization Status:
|
|
🗜️ zram: 15G (used: 0B)
|
|
💾 tmpfs: 6 cache mounts active
|
|
📁 Active mounts:
|
|
• browser : 4096MB (0% used)
|
|
• ide : 2048MB (0% used)
|
|
• packages : 3072MB (0% used)
|
|
• thumbnails : 512MB (0% used)
|
|
• development: 2048MB (0% used)
|
|
• kde : 1024MB (0% used)
|
|
📊 Total tmpfs allocated: 12800MB
|
|
⚙️ kernel: swappiness=1, dirty_ratio=3
|
|
🔄 service: enabled (will restore tmpfs on reboot)
|
|
|
|
🎯 Next Steps:
|
|
1. 🔄 Reboot to ensure all optimizations persist
|
|
2. 🌐 Configure applications to use tmpfs caches (see details above)
|
|
3. 📊 Monitor usage: df -h | grep tmpfs-cache
|
|
4. 🔍 Check status anytime: ./quick-status-check.sh
|
|
|
|
💡 Useful Commands:
|
|
• Check tmpfs usage: df -h /tmp/tmpfs-cache/*
|
|
• Monitor performance: iotop -ao
|
|
• View mount details: mount | grep tmpfs-cache
|
|
|
|
🚀 Your system now has 12800MB of high-speed cache storage in RAM!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **3. New Helper Script: `tmpfs-info.sh`**
|
|
|
|
**Usage Options:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
./tmpfs-info.sh # Show status

|
|
./tmpfs-info.sh help # Show everything
|
|
```
