The > default is 4096 (4 MB) (8192 (8 MB) on S390). I don't find any place that S390 changes CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE from its default of 4096 to 8192. Did you?

Compare to ramdisk_size? how about See ramdisk_size. or Same as ramdisk_size. > > 3) Using "rdev -r" > ------------------ As for the Changelog, it would be better just to delete all of it.
