Hi. Question regarding ram disks. I've looked at various howtos but I'm either missing on what I need to read or what I want to do is not possible. I'm wanting to populate around 100 megs of data onto a virtual partition le'ts say made of a ram partition on a machine that all it has is a cdrom and 1 gig of ram. I tried doing: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 count=195555 to get a ramdisk around 100 mb in size but I get the error no space left on device. On another machine with a hard drive I can do this if I just create a file /tmp/tmpfs and do the dd command there. I can then mke2fs the file and mount it and have a 100 mb loop block device. So in short, how can I do this but with a ram disk? Thanks. -- If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way will promptly develop. Raul A.
