Think your SSD is fast? PEASANT! Mount folders in RAM for MAXIMUM SPEED! RAWRRR!!! Then push back changes when done, merge tool optional.
Platform: Linux
REQUIRES: kit
Always back up your data before using a program like this.
Although not all actions are implmented, below is the intended usage:
###Load a folder into RAM
rpg folder
###View the status of all rampaged folders
rpg -l
###View diff between RAM and HD versions
rpg -d folder
###Write changes (from RAM) back to HD without unmounting
rpg -w folder
###Discard ALL changes made to RAM version and unmount
rpg -r folder
If your computer crashes while a folder is rampaged, you will only lose unwritten RAM changes. The original HD version is stored at .FOLDER.rpg. as a backup. The broken symlink in its place may be safely deleted.
Right now, folders are rampaged on a folder-name-basis. You will not yet be able to rampage folders of similar names (yet).
