Frequently corrupted BFS on ramdisk

Description

I tend to build programs on BeFS ramdisk because it is cheaper and faster than my SSD. Ramdisk gets auto-created/mounted at boot ( for more info see https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/16734 ).

I use it mostly like:

  • extracting huge source trees (like GCC)
  • initializing a git repo
  • commit some changes
  • creating a patch from the sources

This process breaks way too frequently, i get corrupted files with garbage, git fsck complains about missing files, etc.

This not yet happened on BFS partitions on SSD or on HDD.
