Hello,
Is there a limitation to the max size you can create a
ramdisk? I have a 1.5G system and I am trying to
allocate a 1G RAM disk, yet no matter what I do, the
max I can create and use is 512M. Is there a way to
get over this limitation?
Thanks for the help!

Phy,
mount tmpfs -t tmpfs -o size=600m /mnt/here
Works for me on my 2.4.29 kernel. 600MB tmpfs.
regards,

Yeah, I like tmpfs, but I can not export tmpfs.
Thanks for the help!
