I built /dev/ram01 175 as per instructions and then mounted it to /tmp. seemed to work OK as far as I could tell, at least, it was listed in the mount table. I shut the system down (sync;haltsys) and on reboot, I got the note the structure needed cleaning (/dev/ram01). I tried to run fsck /dev/ram01 with no success. The manual isn't very clear on setting ramdisk as a perminent fixture. What am I doing wrong? Thanks... scotty@ozdaltx
