tmpfs/ramfs partition sync to remote storage.
Hi,
My linux system is running from the ram (ramfs/tmpfs). Crated a partition type 'tmpfs'. Processes are reading/writing from/to this partition files. I am looking for utilities to sync this partition to the remote storage regularly (say, once in 10 sec). Normal copy command will produce partial files, if the copy is getting executed during a write operation.
Thanks,
Prasad.

Is the "remote storage" device on another system over the network, or a physical device attached to the computer in question?
Are you trying to copy the entire ramdisk, or just updated files?
What is the command you are using to copy the data?
What hardware are you using?
What Linux distribution+version+kernel are you running?
How are you booting? From flash or from disc?Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

Hi,
It is a virutal enviroment (vmware) and VM is running Montavista Linux. Remote storage means iscsi. Linux is booted from iscsi and running in the RAM (ramfs/tmpfs). Right now, no copy happening between the ramfs partition to the storage (iscsi).
Thanks.
