The original "ramdisk=<ram_size>" has been kept around for -compatibility reasons, but it may be removed in the future. -There are also config symbols (in the Block drivers config menu) for these -variables: BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE defaults to 4096 and BLK_DEV_RAM_BLOCKSIZE -defaults to 1024. - The new RAM disk also has the ability to load compressed RAM disk images, allowing one to squeeze more programs onto an average installation or rescue floppy disk. |
