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?
 
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.
 
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.
