Does anyone know if there is a way to create a RAM disk in QNX 4.25 without
specifying it as an option to Fsys in the boot image? Or, is there a way to
restart Fsys with the -r option without killing the system? I know you can
do this with inetd and other processes and I realize this request is quite a
stretch, but if there was some obscure way of doing it, I would save a lot
of time.

Check out Efsys.ram. I think it has some limitations, though.

And there is also vdir (new with 4.25D). vdir has the advantage of
change size dynamicly!

You can start another incarnation of Fsys. You have to give a (undocumented?)
name option. I do in my sysinit:
Fsys -N qnx/ramdisk -c0 -r 25M
That way you can slay and restart it as you wish.

Thanks, that’s greatly appreciated.
