trying to find tut on ramdisk root FS

e1000 · 02-23-2004, 02:58 AM

just today I got a new hard drive, and one of the things i forgot to transfer to my new hard drive was my internet explorer favorites (yes, i still use IE on occasion)

anyways, my biggest loss is a website that explains in great detail how to create a root filesystem on a ramdisk (kinda like initrd, but not only during bootup)

does anyone know the location of this rather inportant and hard to find tutorial?

How about (as root)
Step 1. create a mount point, e.g.

# mkdir /tmp/ramdisk

Step 2. mount the ramdisk:

# mount -t ramfs none /tmp/ramdisk

Edit: I think I misunderstood you, and this doesn't answer your question.
