RAM disk vs large Squeezelite buffer?

[koko6969koki]

Thanks! 
I have played wit different MPD cache values, 256MB, 1GB, etc.
In my NUC I have 8GB of RAM, and I have disabled the RAM disk since I will not need it, if I get MPD to cache songs in RAM on its own.
I also have returned the LMS cache settings (that I was previously playing with) to the default values, so I think that I had enough free RAM.
If I decide to try 1.1.9 firmware, will all my settings, newly installed plugins and saved Internet radio favourites in LMS be preserved? 
I would hate to loose them, especially the favouriites.
If I find the 1.1.9 too buggy (I have read the reports in the 1.1.9 topic that prevented me from upgrading) and decide to go back,
will the LMS favourites still be preserved?

Is there a way that I just upgrade MPD v21 to the latest version and stay with Snakeoil 1.1.8 firmware untill the next major version?

I don't just tweak my Snakeoil box I also listen to music with it, and I must say that I'm enjoying it more each day. 
You are on the way of finding the right balance between sound quality, easy user interface for novices, and tweakability for more demanding users.
This separates your OS from the other audiophile oriented linux dstributions that I've tried so far. I like it best! 


Update:
I have tried it again, double checked everything to be sure that no other extra options are using RAM, and I got the same error.
I also tried MPD v20 and the same error appeared.
So maybe this setting works only in the latest MPD versions?
I might try the 1.1.9 firmware, but only in case that I can keep the LMS favourites.


Update No2:
I order to see what is wrong, I have tried to enable logging by adding these lines:

log_file      "/var/tmp/mpd.log"
log_level            "verbose"

But no log file was written.

I even tried to change the setting so that the log file is written to more accessible location: 
log_file      "/media/music/mpd.log"

Again nothing happened.

I guess that I'll have to use the RAM disk for the time being, until you add the web interface option for setting the MPD input cache setting in some future firmware version.  
I'm joking of course, we can't expect you to make all our wishes come true (we can only hope! ).
