Steven S. Dick:
: If I write an msdos image to the ram disk and then try to mount it, : the contents of the ram disk are lost. The mount succeeds, but the : mounted directory is empty afterwards, and after unmounting, : the ram drive has been zeroed.
: Mounting minix and ext2 filesystems on the ram disk works fine.
This question has been answered less than a week ago on this list. The difference between msdos and ext2 is that the former uses blocksize 512. But changing blocksize implies throwing away the cache. A patch was posted too.
