- OK, I tried a RAM disk and I don't like it. I want to turn it off.
- The memory cotrol panel tells me I can't turn it off if there are
- files on it. Fine, I delete the files. Still can't turn it off.
- OK, I delete the invisible files. Still can't turn it off. Well,
- maybe I need to empty the trash. I can't empty the trash, because
- the invisible files I just trashed are still in use. OK, maybe if
- I reboot, it will let me turn it off, since there's no files on it.
- No, sorry, on reboot, the desktop files are rebuilt so there are files
- on the RAM disk which I can't delete to turn off the RAM disk since
- they are in use and can't be deleted!
-
- How the hell do I remove the RAM disk?
