It looks like a good intro, thanks. I wasn't aware of these technologies, but I knew it was possible to build an FS in RAM. So I just put these two keywords together.
- dredmorbius 7y agoFWIW, I learned a few things researching my answer. (A prime validation for answering questions, BTW.) My first read was that the old-school ramfs / ramdisk limitations still held. I can't actually even find documentation on them, though I'm pretty sure I'm not dreaming this. Circa 2.0 kernal IIRC, possibly earlier. OK, some traces remain, see: https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/x1143.html https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/x1143.html Note that this is OBSOLETE information.
