mdconfig
—
configure MEMORY disks
mdconfig |
special_file 512-byte-blocks |
The mdconfig
command configures memory
disk devices. It will associate the special file
special_file with a range of user-virtual memory
allocated by the mdconfig
process itself. The
mdconfig
command should be run in the background. If
successful, the command will not return. Otherwise, an error message will be
printed.
To "unconfigure" the memory disk, just kill the
background mdconfig
process started earlier.
mdconfig /dev/md0c 2048
&
Configures the memory disk md0c with one megabyte of user-space memory.
The special device will become inoperative if the
mdconfig
process is killed while the special device
is open.
