Hello,

Is there an easy way to create a RAM disk (sometimes called memdisk) on Solaris? I would like to be able to create a RAM disk so that I can see for example, /dev/dsk/ramd0 and /dev/rdsk/ramd0 block and character mode devices.

Are you thinking of swap? Solaris allows the use of areas of disk for swap space and used by memory management. Read man swap for more details. HTH.
