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.
