Is there any way to make a 'ram disk' in memory as there is in MSDOS? I have a co-worker that says he's heard of it but doesn't know the command(s) to do it.
 
sschrage,

This is the procedure used to set up ram filesystems : You won`t find any documentation on this......

To set up:

mkramdisk 16384 (# of 512K blocks = 8MB in this example)

mkfs -V jfs -o "log=nointegrity,nbpi=512" /dev/ramdisk0

mount -V jfs -o nointegrity /dev/ramdisk0 /mnt

to remove:

unmount /mnt

rmramdisk /dev/ramdisk0

PSD -- you should write a short FAQ from this one. It's not reaffly frequently asked but it would be nice to have the details somewhere I could find them.

Nice one, by the way. Mike
