Hi,
ridiculously, my Tungsten E2 shows a hidden VFS volume mounted in RAM when
you use FileZ and set it up to show hidden volumes as well.

I can darkly remember having read about something similar on the Treo 650,
because the camera application is said to store all of its stuff there! 

You can check that easily: make a photo. Then, check if a file with the name
of the photo exists in RAM using FileZ!

KiraN,

>Is it the fact that VFS only exist on the card. 

Correct.  The VFS is only for memory cards (or an internal memory card
volume such as on the T5).  The RAM storage in a device does not support any
file system, including the Virtual File System.  Use must use the Data
Manager.

Likewise, external memory cards do not support the Data Manager (calls
beginning with Dm...) but must be accessed via the VFS calls.

In addition, don't be confused by the fact the Dm...() calls take a "card
number" argument.  With the exception of the Handspring Visor line, I don't
believe any other device ever supported anything but 0 for this value.  It
has nothing to do with external memory cards.
