Another similar thing is the RAM\r\ndisk (/dev/ram*), which simulates a fixed size hard disk in physical\r\nRAM, where you have to create an ordinary filesystem on top. Ramdisks\r\ncannot swap and you do not have the possibility to resize them. \r\n\r\nAs a result, catapult should make sure of what file system the chrome profile directory is stored in benchmark to ensure that the benchmark condition are exactly as same as on every day use."}}
