I'm running the img-version of nas4free from a harddrive.
Nas4free creates two ram disks sized resp. 196M and 32M.
This makes sense when running from CF/SD/USBkey, but it doesn't when running from harddrive.
Could we make creating a ram disks into a configurable option?
Like a checkbox "create ram disk"; checked by default to protect CF/SD/USBkey
FWIW: I tried to simply umount the ram disks, but it failes on FS BUSY

Re: disable RAMdisk(s)
If You use Hard Disk, use full install, and You avoid RAM Disk.
RAM Disk is needed in the enbeded version (.img) to load kernel and minimizes writes on CF.
