    Hei Guys ;)
    Yet another one of my jailbreaker questions for you guys ;)

    Yeah, i always wondered, how can i make my own ramdisk that i can upload to my device and boot it form a patched kernel ??? and how can i implement tasks into this ramdisk (like mounting an other Filesystem on my iPod ;)).
    I wrote in a post not too long ago (with wich i mean yesterday ;)) that you can somehow do it, using DiskUtility ;)


    Also, do i need to mess around with the Boot-Args in iBEC to boot it, or can i just upload it (i actually don't really think so) ??? ;)

    I don't think that you can mount a HFS+ filesystem on a HFS filesystem (iOS). Thats just mine (and ValleyForges) 2 cents.

    He didn't say anything about HFS[+]. Besides, the fact that iOS can't currently mount HFS+ does not depend on iOS's filesystem being anything, just that nobody ever compiled an hfsplus_mount for it.

    Try this made by comex:

    ^^it's for .dmg's ;) .

    Also, if you want to mount it during bootup or like when you're uploading iBSS, iBEC, kernelcache, etc... so it will bootup with the ramdisk, just upload it to your iDevice, then send the command 'mount' and it will mount when you bootup your iDevice ('bootx'). Never could make a ramdisk work for me though lolz.
