Creating a RamDisk

English Applications
1

I use openSuse 11 on Hp Laptop with 4 Gig Ram and I want to create a
RamDisk for 1 GB out of it and also I want this space to exclusively
reside in Ram and not supposed to be swapped to disc even when the OS
runs into memory pressure.

I found this article (‘Linux Ramdisk mini-HOWTO’
(http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/Ramdisk/ramdisk.html)) which exactly
address my need but its for RedHat, it would be great if any could help
out in doing the same for in our openSuse 11.

appreciate your time and help….

Thanks.
Kent
