hi,
in <linus/fs/Config.in>, RAMFS is defined y always. why not make it
a tristate? the help says, that RAMFS is a programming example only,
so there's no need to absolutely have it compiled in the kernel.
thanks,

aha, okay. so ramfs/inode.c defines init_rootfs, which in fact *is*
absolutely needed by the kernel in fs/namespace.c
but then Configure.help is missleading, and RAMFS should not be a CONFIG_
option anyway.
: Simple RAM-based file system support
: CONFIG_RAMFS
: Ramfs is a file system which keeps all files in RAM. It allows
: read and write access.
:
: It is more of an programming example than a usable file system.
