DVEVM 365 Ramdisk size in RAM : problem when NFS

Hello,

We are using the DVEVM for testing application using the av_server.out application. We have our application which lacks RMA memory at a point in the process.

We have found that there was a ramdisk enabled in the kernel and that ramdisk took 32MB (this is in the kernel boot log).

We removed the RAMDISK option in the kernel, and have the kernel boot notification disappeared. We work on NFS, so we do not need ramdisk.

But the size in memory has not reduced !

Memory was originally set to 76M for kernel and the rest for CMEM. We have reduced the CMEM and added 16M to the kernel.

We have also reduced the modules loaded at boot.

Has anyone met this problem or ramdisk taking too much memory ?

    Hello,

    Do you mean that after disable "RAMDISK" option from kernel configure you do not get messages during kernel bootup ? If yes then i don't think there is any relationship between ramdisk and kernel boot console message.  Just by enabling RAMDISK is kernel does not mean that kernel is reserving any memory for ramdisk. Typically the ramdisk memory gets allocated only when you set the appropriate kernel command line option.

    Thanks
