copies data from NOR to RAM and remounts
the temporarily file system, mounts USB
device to /mnt/usbdisks, prepare NAND
Example at rc.conf: Use shared memory
Useful for other applications that need shared memory.
1. Check export variable TMPFS in /etc/init.d/rc.conf
export TMPFS="tmpfs"
2. Enable shared memory section in /etc/init.d/scripts/filesystem
# Shared memory, in case a application would need it:
if [ "$TMPFS" = "tmpfs" ]
then
mount -t $TMPFS shm /dev/shm
fi
# Shared memory end
Example: Read file system usage statistics by using /bin/df
The dataflash is the only partition that is not mounted to RAM. All other have a partition size of 8MB exclude the
rootfs itself which has a size of 48 MB.
After the kernel has been loaded by the U-Boot from RAM, the system partitions are:
# df

NOTE:
In case of writing log files to e.g. var directory, it is important to keep in mind that the allocated size is
8MB. If the log file reaches the size of 8MB, not further data can be stored.
