It worked on the >2.4.x series. I seem to remember that you must explicitly set the blocksize to 1024 or 4096 when creating the filesystem. Eg mkfs.ext2 -b1024 or mkfs.ext2 -b4096 (don't remember which one exactly). But with 2.6, why not use tmpfs ? Mount -t tmpfs -o size=8192000000 /ramdisk0 Mike. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
