This is what i asked:
Is there anyone who could tell me how to make a ram disk in Solaris 8?
I have a Sun Sparc Box running Solaris 8, and I want to use some of
it's memory to mount a new file-system
Thanks in advance,
The solution:
As many mentioned i could use tmpfs, lik this:
mkdir /ramdisk
mount -F tmpfs -o size=500m swap /ramdisk
However this is not a true ramdisk (it really uses VM, not RAM, and the size
is an upper limit, not a reservation) This is what Solaris provides.
Look also at: man tmpfs, man mount_tmpfs
I also got the understanding that you could write your own driver
to make a ramdisk. If anyone has further information regardings this
i would be gratefull for any information.
