This might be true on 64MB systems. It is surely not true on multi-Gigabyte-
RAM setups. At least not if you actually use that memory for anything

On disk, yes. On the filesystem, no. It's valid for the data to be left
in the journal, for instance.

Hi.
I can see that the idea of writing a kernel image from using another
kernel sounds nice and clean initially, but the more we get into the
details (yes, I am listening, even though I said nothing before now),
the more it's sounding like the cure is worse than the disease.

It seems like it would be very hard to get writing of an image to a
fuse
