Hi, Would anyone know if how to pre-load modules of type `md_image' is documented anywhere? I'm trying to create a 250Meg ramdisk , but have only managed one of 10 Meg so far . So far what I can surmise is that it has to be done in loader.conf: 1) Setting [mfs_load="NO"] to YES 2) Somehow indicated I want 250Meg for a memory disk as hinted to by one of the last paragraphs of the md MAN page. "the md driver will search for pre-loaded modules of type `md_image' and instantiate a md device for each of these modules. The type `mfs_root' is also allowed for backward compatibility. These devices are backed by the RAM reserved by the loader(8), and as such not limited by the malloc(9) size constraints" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
