I am here to ask you if it is possible for a ramdisk to get corrupted and if so, is it possible to verify the surface of it?

command-line console ram

  1. I am going to autoresponder because I have continued looking and I managed to deduce how I can check if there is a defect in the allocated space of the ramdisk.

    First let's create the ramdisk. In this example it will have a size of 1 GB:

    sudo mkdir -p /media/ramdisk
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=1024M tmpfs /media/ramdisk
sudo chmod 1777 /media/ramdisk

    To make the ramdisk permanently available, add it to /etc/fstab.

    grep /media/ramdisk /etc/mtab | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

    Once mounted, we proceed to install F3 rom the link of the official page F3 (Fight Flash Fraud) or with the command:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install f3

    Assuming that they have installed it using the above command, in the terminal they should write the following and in the following order:

    Write the data in the free space:

    f3write /media/ramdisk

    Read the test data:

    f3read /media/ramdisk

    And enjoy the storage in a space free of errors.
