I mounted the ramfs with
mount -t ramfs ramfs /disks/ramdisk.
1) df -k didn't show the ramdrive
2) cd /disks /ramdisk; df -k .
showed the disk but with a size of 0 blocks... I could copy some
files over but the size stayed 0 blocks.
3) The real problem: i tried to bench the disk with bonnie.

---> freeze. The machine went in a deep freeze. Telnet connections to
this machine got closed. I couldn't even deactivate the console screen
saver. Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work. I had to use the reset button.
The problem occurred after the test with a 60 MB file. That's about
the size of my RAM. Can't the kernel swap out a ramfs filesystem?
I'm not on the Kernel-ML. I try to track the ML with deja... but, a
reply per PM would be nice. :-)
