    Subjectram disk (fwd)

    I have a small (10 MB) database that rarely changes and i would like to
    place this entirely in ram for performance purposes.

    I cannot seem to get the ram driver to make a ramdisk greater than
    4096. Reading through the docs in Documentation/ramdisk.txt indicates I
    should be able to do this with ramdisk_size=13288 (4096x3). this is
    either a boot prompt or a lilo append option.

    but neither case seems to work. I get fs erros (eg block device is
    4096 but filesystem says 13288, and then access error messages for
    seeking past the 4096 mark.

    Could someone explain what I am doing wrong.

    I am running redhat 4.2 with kernel 2.0.34.

    thanks

    bob shepard
