Okay, I used the routine defined in 'man md' to initialised the ram disk: disklabel -r -w md0 auto && \ newfs /dev/md0c && \ mount /dev/md0c /ftp && \ chmod 1777 /ftp the response is : 'disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device disklabel: auto: unknown disk type' I have two files in the directory /ftp. I would like mount /ftp as a RAM disk containing my two files. Thanks for your help Gilles To: Gilles GUERRINI/FR/ALCATEL@ALCATEL cc: Subject: Re: RAM disk creation Use MFS - and MFS is a memory file system. It will still swap to disk if you dont have enough ram to hold it all. On Mon, 4 Dec 2000 Gilles.Guerrini@alcatel.fr wrote: > > > Hello, > I am running a FreeBSD machine.
