Re: ext2fs or ramdisk problems......

Whitney, John writes:

If I copy a file, such as /bin/vim, into new files until they fill up
the unused ramdisk space, delete the copies, and start copying them
again, I get the "out of space" error (actually, I don't think I even
have to fill up the space before I can get this to happen).  If it were
inode related, I'd think that it was the *number* of files and that for
each file I deleted, I could create a new one (which isn't the case).

True.  I just tried both these cases, and I get the results you expect.
Are you sure your memory subsystem is working properly?
Did you pass an explicit size to mke2fs, and if so, does it match the size of
your ramdisk?
