Hello,
The limitation on extended attributes is the file system. So you should be fine if you use the right file system;
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/ram1 65536
mkdir /home/ramdisk
mount /dev/ram1 /home/ramdisk
My current distro runs a root file-system of EXT3 in a ramdisk, but I don't share gluster from that FS. Should be good.

> is it possible to use ram-disks as bricks for building volumes in GlusterFS? I found an answer that it is not possible because ram-disk doesn't support extended attributes. Is there any way around it? I am trying to make a distributed volume with two ram-disk partitions as bricks but it doesn't work.
