Component Type: kbuild config

Description: RAM block device support

More info: Saying Y here will allow you to use a portion of your RAM memory as a block device, so that you can make file systems on it, read and write to it and do all the other things that you can do with normal block devices (such as hard drives). It is usually used to load and store a copy of a minimal root file system off of a floppy into RAM during the initial install of Linux. Note that the kernel command line option "ramdisk=XX" is now obsolete. For details, read <file:Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/ramdisk.rst>. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called brd. An alias "rd" has been defined for historical reasons. Most normal users won't need the RAM disk functionality, and can thus say N here.
