Hi,

A couple of questions. After you installed the RAMDISK, were the performance graphs working? Are you able to re-start the ncpd service from the command line? Are you able to view the lock file? I'd like to get a current profile since installing the RAMDISK. Thanks, Benjamin

Good evening

We did both things:
Restart npcd
and locate .pid
