What solution you are offering ? and what is may be??
Please answer the question only if you know the answers and save some
bandwidth.
Coming back to your question,
You can mount your /dev/ram0..../dev/ram15 as extra partitions.
Add following line to rc.local
mkfs.ext2 /dev/ram0
mount /dev/ram0 /tmp1
"copy all the required files to /tmp1 and run binaries from here to get
blazing speed."
You can mount system directories like /var /bin etc also but this
initialization has to be done in rc.sysconfig i,e before daemons are
started.
BTW kernel loading message always show that 16 ramdisk of 4096 initialized,
even on 32 mb machine how this is possible?
Secondly How can we increase the size of ramdisk to 32 mb on 64 mb machine?
I am planning to mount run /usr directory (with minimum binaries) on
ramdisk to get blazing speed.
Any comments?
