Limiting RAMFS usage
I created a RAMFS of size 5 MB, and started filling data into that.
When it exceeds 5 MB there is no alert / error. It is going up to the size of RAM available. So it makes the system to hang. How to identify when the RAMFS got filled ?? I want to stop writing when the RAMFS got filled. Thanks in Advance.

man cramfs
man ramdisk man rootflags man ext if you are trying to make a ROM of 5 MB to boot off some handheld device as a bootrom or something like that? http://embedded.centurysoftware.com/docs/nx/index.html take a peek here. peck-a-booooooooo! http://embedded.centurysoftware.com/...e-ramdisk.html bullz-eye!  plus, are you using busybox? and ext2,ext3 for ramfs or romfs then dont use ext2/3 they use journalling flag option. try jffs or readonly filesystems like LZMA where you dont have +w option i.e. its simple +r else i am not sure unless i get the right info.
