In this post, I will record the daily usage of linux, as well as the ways to resolve the common problems.

How to use ramdisk in Ubuntu and Fedora?

In Fedora, the ramdisk is disabled by default, that is, it is compiled into the kernel, but as a module, which will be loaded into the kernel when actually used. So, it is necessary to compile the kernel manually to select the ramdisk as the built-in modules.

In Ubuntu, the ramdisk support is enabled by default, so the steps are easier compared to Fedora.

Using the following commands to list the ramdisk:

ls /dev/ram*

The output will be like:

/dev/ram0 /dev/ram10 /dev/ram12 /dev/ram14 /dev/ram2 /dev/ram4 /dev/ram6 /dev/ram8
/dev/ram1 /dev/ram11 /dev/ram13 /dev/ram15 /dev/ram3 /dev/ram5 /dev/ram7 /dev/ram9

Format the ramdisk as an ext4fs:

mkfs.ext4 /dev/ram1

Then mount it:

sudo mount /dev/ram1 /mnt
