I am trying to make a ramdisk and set my TMP directory to it so intermediate kernel compile files are stored there and hopefully speed up my compiles. I have slackware 3.5 Kernel has ramdisk as a module looked at Documentation/ramdisk.txt Total mem is 128M I thought I could do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram bs=1k count=32768 for a 32Meg ramdisk (might be more than I need) then mke2fs /dev/ram/ 32768 then mount -t ext2 /dev/ram /tmp However when I do the dd command it says dd: /dev/ram no such device. the /dev/ram is there to a link of /dev/ram1 which is a block device. What am I doing wrong here? Please CC me directly.
