Working set size for SMP

[cactus]

Im looking at setting up SMP on my Linux desktop, but all I have is EXT4 and ZFS partitions. Last I recall, F@H didn't like EXT4 and I dont want to be waking my ZFS pool up. I want to put my work folder in a tmpfs/zram drive. How big does it need to be?

Been folding on ext4 file systems for over 2 years issue free.

Just need barrier=0 on the ext4 settings ...

Edit: or an ssd

Looking at a bigadv machine without my usual bunch of crap in the fah directory, I have a size of 171MB. SMP is bound to be smaller, but I don't have a machine running SMP. 250MB is probably on the very safe side for folding.

39MB for my smp folder. Like Musky said, 250MB should be plenty.

Sounds like 100MB is plenty for SMP, which doesn't surprise me. I was using a 50MB ramdisk for GPU folding briefly, and it was plenty.

Thanks for the input

For future reference 6965 used about 35MB of disk space
