Question about RAM Disk
#1
Apologies in advance for what is no doubt a silly question; I am new to Snakeoil.

I have some music on a USB which I have mounted to /media/music/mnt and I want to experiment with RAM Disk. Once I have copied the files to RAM do I need to unmount the USB to avoid having duplicates in my library? 

I tried to test this earlier in the week but I was doing it from mobile and could not drill down into the ram folder to see what files were copied across in order to see if they were duplicated in the library, however the total number of files in my library did increase after copying to ram which suggests there is duplication.

(Amazing software btw, it has transformed my listening experience - thank you @"agent_kith" and also @"Snoopy8" whose posts led me here!)
