Ok, I looked at it, and it seems it's really the msdos fs tricking the ramdisk away, since it sets the blocksize to a different value, and this operation clears the ramdisk [It happened to me during development]... Now, the real solution would be to remove this feature from the ramdisk, but this is not a trivial work, so do anyone have objections moving the check for romfs before the msdos-like filesystems?
