    I would like to confirm, as I also read some people actually created bigger ones, if those actually work out or not.

    Hi... I asked the question to IBM support in the past month and the response I got was "...ramdisk size with the mkramdisk command is essentially unlimited now (although the vmo parameter maxpin% may have to be increased). "

    Hope that helps..
