Hi,

Is there a way to create large ramdisks (around 200meg) that act as a 
single partition?  I seem to recall seeing something on the topic a few 
weeks ago while surfing, but now can't seem to locate the site by 
googling when I need it?

Rather than use the kernel boot option in grub or lilo to create a large 
number of devices of limited size or mess with the kernel source, just a 
single "mke2fs" type of command that would grow as needed to store files 
up to some specified limit.

Regards
John W.
