Subject: ram device not initialised to zero in 2.4.8
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2001 23:53:43 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200108232153.XAA06231@xilofon.it.uc3m.es> (raw)

I don't see what harm it does, but the ram devices are full of
interesting data if you read them after setting them up. Either
this is a security hole waiting to happen, or somebody is being
very inventive with the fill ...

I did

     mke2fs -m0 /dev/ram2 4096
     dd if=/dev/ram2 | od -a | less

and had a good read.

Peter
