ramdisk
Hello,
I have a SUN with Solaris 9.
I now allready how to create a ramdisk because I found the following link: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0690/6mgflntjs?a=view
This works fine, but on the ramdisk I have only one file (the name of the ramdisk).
When I copy different files to the ramdisk I only can still see this one file (the name of the ramdisk) and the files which I have copied to the ramdisk will be added to this file.
Now my questions:
1. How can I access only a specific copied file?
2. How can normal users (not root) read the ramdisk? Must I only change the permissions.
Hopefully you can help me.
Thanks a lot.
best regards,
Christoph

Disclaimer -- I don't know much about ramdisks...but here goes:
how are you mounting your ramdisk device?
IIUIC, it has to be mounted as a filesystem in order for you to see it's contents or to be able to read/write to/from it. Simply copying something to the devicefile itself will not work -- you'll prbly end up clobbering the device file.

It's a translated page from the original Frech source. It shows how you can use RAMDISK devices. The Filesystem is UFS (you'd newfs the device)
