This consumed /dev/md0. I tried to use /dev/md1 as a memory disk for temporary files and logs . But it failed saying "Device not configured". The /dev directory has all entires for md0* and md1*. The dmesg says the following md0: Preloaded image 1554432 bytes at 0xc029e8e0 md1: Malloc disk which means md1 is also enabled. Any ideas how to use md1?
