Hmmm... very enigmatic, your remark. :-) However, in this case I suspect it is because ramdisks don't really work well on Solaris: <shelob:/home/volker,2846# uname -a SunOS shelob 5.10 Generic_137111-02 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T1000 <shelob:/home/volker,2847# vmstat kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr lf lf lf s0 in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 33849968 2223440 2 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 21 0 21 813 1263 957 0 0 99 <shelob:/home/volker,2848# ramdiskadm <shelob:/home/volker,2849# ramdiskadm -a testdisk 1g ramdiskadm: couldn't create ramdisk "testdisk": Resource temporarily unavailable Exit 1 <shelob:/home/volker,2850# ramdiskadm -a testdisk 768m /dev/ramdisk/testdisk <shelob:/home/volker,2851# vmstat kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr lf lf lf rm in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 33849960 2223504 2 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 21 0 -0 813 1263 957 0 0 99 <shelob:/home/volker,2852# ramdiskadm -a testdisk2 768m ramdiskadm: couldn't create ramdisk "testdisk2": Resource temporarily unavailable Exit 1 <shelob:/home/volker,2853# vmstat kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr lf lf lf rm in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 33849952 2223552 2 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 21 0 -0 813 1263 957 0 0 99 So they only work on and off. I never bothered to find out what the problem was (in fact, I hadn't even tried the ramdiskadm cmd in that version of Solaris before this email thread showed up).
