Subject: ramdisk on 2.6.0-test1


I tried to create a ramdisk image on 2.6.0-test1 and it went pretty bad.

Did:

dd if=ramdisk of=/dev/ram0
mount /dev/ram0 /mnt

made a few changes to /mnt then dir 'sync' and:

dd if=/dev/ram0 of=newrd

When i scanned through "newrd" i didn't see the changes just made. Tried
with 'umount /mnt' instead of 'sync' - didn't do anything better.


Any idea of what i might be doing wrong?
