First, I apologize if there is a better forum for this question,
 but I've googled this a bit and found little discussion on the topic.I got a c3000 recently and put Angstrom on it. It creates a 32Mb ramfs on startup, just like my old 5500 did.  I remember from my 5500 days that OZ would build a selection of kernels with different sized ramdisks. I want the other half of my memory available. Will I need to build my own kernel for that? Is there a way to simply unmount that ramfs and free that memory? Who out there has 64Mb available on his/her Z (with an EABI 2.6 kernel)? Thanks for your help. |

I agree, ramfs is a potentially very useful tool, and relatively harmless provided you remember that you shouldn't overflow it, and that its contents will disappear when you reboot!
