Configuring Scramdisk

Scramdisk may be configured individually. For this purpose choose Options in the menu bar and then Configure. You get the following editable table:

Configuration

In the first column the options are listed in a tree structure. They are grouped in the four categories sdcreate, sdchange, sdmount and sdumount corresponding to the names of the command line utilities. Likewise they are responsible for the functions of creating, changing, mounting and unmounting of the graphical user interface.

The second column lists the type for each option. Scramdisk handles the following types:

type possible values
boolean true, false
integer any positive number
cipher aes, blowfish, des, des3, serpent, square, tea, twofish
digest ripemd160, sha1, sha256
filesystem ext2, ext3, reiserfs, minix, msdos, vfat
pathname any text which can be the name of a file or directory

The third column lists the current value of the option which is configured in your home directory in the file .scramdisk/scramdiskrc. If this file does not yet exist, all value fields are left empty. In order to change the value of an option first select the option then click on its value field and type in the new value or use the Browse button for pathnames. The new values are rejected immediately if they are not compatible with their types. Finally you confirm your changes with the OK button or dismiss them with the Cancel button.
