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

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.
