Technically it should be feasible, but IMHO it's not a good idea, at most you could use that as COW file; copying the whole UBD over a non-swappable ramdisk is slow and bad (while tmpfs is swappable memory, and both ramdisks and the ramfs filesystem, again, are not). -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Skype user "PaoloGiarrusso" Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
