6.2.9 kmkramdisk uEFI Shell Command
kmkramdisk
FUNCTION: Create RAMdisk drives
SYNTAX: kmkramdisk [-?|-s <size> <name>]
where:
-? show help
-s <size> <name> create a RAMdisk of given size in Megabytes with
the mount point name <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:
