clu LQ Newbie Registered: Feb 2003 Posts: 6 Rep:	ramdisk i have been able to do the trivial task of creating a ramdisk by mke2fs /dev/ram0 mount /dev/ram0 /mnt/ramdisk It seems that linux buffers the i/o to this. Since the ramdisk is itself memory, I would like to find a way to bypass the buffering and write directly to the ramdisk. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so how is it done? Any help would be appreciated.
