I have a RAM disk that is assigned to directory /tmp
and I want to set directory links so that any
operations like reading and writing files to say
/home/ftp actually get written and read from the RAM
at say /tmp/home/ftp
Also how do identify directory links ??
What is the difference beteen hard and symbolic
directory links.
This is what I tried
mknod -m 660 /dev/ram b 1 0
mke2fs -m0 /dev/ram 2048
mount -n -t ext2 /dev/ram /tmp
chmod ugo+rwx /tmp
mkdir /tmp/home
mkdir /tmp/home/ftp
ln -s /tmp/home/ftp /home/ftp
then ls -al
but when I looked in /tmp/home/ftp it did not contain
what was in /home/ftp ???
Is there an explination ? Did I do it right ??
