What sort of filesystem image? ext2 or so, right? But then this is an ext2 filesystem image, not a ramfs image. > say the file varfs, to > /dev/ram (yes, this isn't a ramfs) and mount it afterwords like this: > > dd if=varfs of=/dev/ram > mount /dev/ram /var What you're using here is a standard ramdisk. This has nothing to do with a ramfs filesystem. You cannot build a "ramfs" filesystem image; you can just populate the filesystem itself. You cannot copy this "filesystem" to any storage device (except on a file by file base). It just lives in the VFS cache.
