I am attempting to get something figured out dealing with the ramdisk
under Linux 2.2.16.  

I am trying to figure out whether you can use the ramdisk to act as a RAM
filesystem doing normal file creations and deletion.  I noticed that
within the code it makes comments about not having to free stuff up.  Does
that mean you can't delete things off the ramdisk filesystem?  I have
created a ramdisk, formatted ext2, and mounted it.  When I create stuff on
there, and then I delete it, I notice that if I do a df, the size doesn't
go back down after I have deleted the file.  I am trying to figure out if
that is how it was intended to happen, or whether I have just done
something not quite correctly.

Thanks,
Matthew M. Copeland
