Won't work, unless you copy all of its contents into a permenant medium before shutdown and load it back into RAM when you load up. I can't see the point of doing this because you might as well use a regular filesystem on disk and have the kernel cache it. That should be fast enough for all general purposes. Alternatively, you can use a regular RAM disk, and have a script in /etc/init.d tar it up (or dd it) on shutdown and refill it from the saved archive on startup. > for instance, if i have 512M ram, i want to do mem=500m and use the remaining 12m > for ramdisk. > > I have already written the kernel module for it, but the problem is that when i > access the upper 12m with __pa(addr), i get a kernel oops ... Why can't you just allocate the memory? Must it be the upper 12M? ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
