ramdisk(HW)


ramdisk -- memory block device (obsolete)

Description

In previous releases, the ramdisk device driver and the /dev/ram00 device provided a block interface to memory. This interface was typically used to create a memory-based file system. The ramdisk device driver and the /dev/ram00 device are no longer supported. Memory-based file systems are supported through the memfs file system type. Use the mount_memfs(ADM) command to make and mount a memfs file system.
