Speed boost for your Notes client on Linux
You need enough RAM. Follow these steps (adopted from here):
- Stop the Notes client
- Create a new directory:
mkdir ~/notestemp
- Edit your notes.ini and add:
view_rebuild_dir=/home/[yourid]/notestemp/
NOTES_TEMPDIR=/home/[yourid]/notestemp/
TempDir=/home/[yourid]/notestemp/ - Edit the mounting table:
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
Add this line (one line, tab separated values):tmpfs /home/[yourid]/notestemp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0
and save the file - Mount the new directory:
sudo mount -a
(a restart would do too) - Start the Notes client
- Optional: Move more temp stuff to tmpfs
