Hi, We are using ramdisk for some purpose initially and later we do not use it at all. When we look at the ramdisk implementation(rd.c) we see that all ramdisk buffers are made immune against buffer cache flushing; this means that they will be alive as long as kernel is alive. Even on doing a close of ramdisk device these buffers are not destroyed. Only place they are destroyed are when ramdisk is made a module and module is removed; but since we do not want ramdisk as module this does not work for us. Why does close of ramdisk not invalidate all the buffers? WHy is the special treatment given only when ramdisk is made as a module?
