From /usr/src/linu/Documentation/filesystems/ramfs.txt:
Ramfs is a file system which keeps all files in RAM. It allows read
and write access. In contrast to RAM disks, which get allocated a
fixed amount of RAM, ramfs grows and shrinks to accommodate the
files it contains.
This sounds nice, and is exactly what I would like to have.
But, this does not appear to happen... on my 3660, /mnt/ramfs has a size
of 16MB, period. RAM size left is 32MB.
Greetings,
Oliver
