Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to prevent unexpected and/or uncontrollable system reboots that occur due to write filter overlay and/or RAM disk depletion within system memory of an information handling system by monitoring time-based write filter memory overlay and/or RAM disk usage. This information may be used to predict when the write filter memory overlay and/or RAM disk will fill up with data, and/or to take actions to prevent write filter memory overlay and/or RAM disk usage from reaching a threshold percentage or fractional utilization value that will trigger a system reboot. Those applications and/or data files that are primarily responsible for filling the memory of a write filter overlay may also be identified and stopped or restarted to prevent automatic system reboot due to write filter memory overlay usage.
