I need approx. 30 Mb storage area (rw) for additional software I need to use. Now, I can't possible fit 30 Mb on a 1.44 Mb floppy, so I get the extra software from CDROM and over network (scp or rsync). But first of all I need the extra 30 Mb disk-space to store the files in. > If you get "Out of space" errors, it means that even the compressed > image is too large and then you have to drop something. > > Anyways, if you are on stable, i think you need /dev/vn* and not > /dev/md* Ok, I've added the vn* devices, both in the kernel and in the ~net/config file and they get created. How can I make a 30 Mb ramdisk on the fly from here? I am sorry to bother you but I cant find any concrete information on the websites. The only thing I find is to use vnconfig, but can't find any info how to create a disk from thin air. > cheers > luigi > > > Anyway, whatever I try to do with /dev/md1 I get "Device Not Configured" > > error.
