Subject"raw"-ramdisk & cache
hi everybody!


as far as i can tell, a ramdrive gets handled the same as every other block
device and is therefore also cached. is there (currently) an easy way to
stop this?

I'd prefer a ramdrive to the ordinary buffer cache in this case because I
can exactly define what is always in ram.

but if it gets buffered, it would spend buffers on something already in
memory.

is there something like the unbuffered partition entries, a "raw"-ramdrive?


regards,

phil
