[ECOS] about ram file system and memory management on the cvs

[yyl]

Hi,I want to use ram file system from 
cvs,but I don't know whether the ram file system depends on the 
memory management of 
cvs?

It depends on malloc(), but no specific implementation of it.

But I think you'd have a hard job disentangling the file system support
from the rest of the CVS world, if that's what you intend to do.

That's a virtual impossibility I'm afraid. The ram file system is in cvs
only, and a *lot* has changed there. If you want to try and backport it to
1.3.1 you could try, but you'll just end up with something that looks a lot
like what is in cvs, but with less features :-). What is in CVS is what we
are intending to release publically as a 1.4.x version some time (don't ask
when).
