If I use both 'changes=/porteus' and 'copy2ram' in boot line, will changes be copied to ram too, or just the base+modules?

I'm reasonable certain both are copied to ram. Easy enough to test it out. :wink:

but the changes survive after reboot so ram and hard drive are in sync?

nope - changes are not copied to RAM.

with 'changes=EXIT:' cheatcode changes are buffered in RAM till the shutdown and then dumped on the hd. during next session old changes are read from hd and new ones are still buffered in RAM till the shutdown. 'changes=EXIT:' prevents unnecessary writes on hd/usb but reading goes as normal.

(studying cheatcodes.txt)

So if I want to run everything in ram I need to convert changes into modules.
Then only /home will be read from hard drive.

Thanks!
