Honestly, this isn't at all what I understood you to be talking about. In your very first post you described ramback as "a new virtual device with the ability to back a ramdisk by a real disk." I assumed "ramdisk" to mean the Linux psuedo-device. I never understood that you meant an external device, in fact I thought ramback was *instead of* a Violin. Since you're talking about external ram, it survives operating system crashes and of course that is not such a big deal as I was thinking.
