kmkramdisk

FUNCTION:

Create RAMdisk drives

SYNTAX:

kmkramdisk [-?] [-s ]

where:

-?

show help

-s create a RAMdisk of given size in Megabytes with

the mount point name

DESCRIPTION:

Creates a RAMdisk of variable size. Can be very useful to perform file
operations when no real filesystem is connected to the system.

Note: The RAMdisk loses its mount point name after all drives are

remapped by the map -r command. The RAMdisk will then be
enumerated as any other connected drive and gain a mount
point name like “fs0”. This is not a bug of the kmkramdisk
command but a normal function of the uEFI framework.

USAGE:

Create RAMdisk:

COMMAND / RESPONSE EXAMPLE:

rd:\> kmkramdisk -s 5 myramdisk
