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
