[SOLVED] Limiting RAMFS usage

[sathiya]

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.

hi,

i found the answer some where else and after some experimentation i did write up as Overview of RAMFS and TMPFS on Linux at Guides, HowTos and Tips for Technology Geeks — The Geek Stuff

Thanks ...
