Temp 1 and 2 Drive size with 2.0

[PuNkYsHuNgRy]

Hello, I was wondering what the temp sizes needed are for Temp Drive #1 and #2, I am having trouble allocating buffers with 2.0 but can create ramdisks easily. I wanted to try to create ramdisks for Temp #1 and #2 and try it that way.

I believe temp 1 is currently around 300-318GiB. Temp 2 is around 192GiB or around 100GiB if you use the -a switch.
There values might shift a little bit on upcoming releases.

Temp 1 only does sequential writes that will not be used until the next phase, so using a ramdisk will likely not give you much gains as opposed to an SSD.

If you are using a ramdisk you need to disable direct IO on that target dir. You can do that by using --no-t1-direct and --no-t2-direct for temp1 and temp2 respectively.

You can also just use the in-app cache for temp2 instead of ramdisk.
