/dev/ram

[Mark Blunier <blunier@ocslink.com>]

How to the /dev/ram files work?  I'd like to be able
to create multiple ram file systems of varying size.
Any ideas as to why using /dev/ram1 doesn't work for
me?



k6:/mnt1# emacs /mnt/root/livecd/makeboot.sh
k6:/mnt1# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram1 bs=1k count=1
dd: /dev/ram1: Operation not supported by device
k6:/mnt1# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram bs=1k count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
k6:/mnt1# ls -al /dev/ram*
