If so, add this to /etc/fstab:
/dev/ram /media/ramdisk tmpfs,user rw 0 0

Right - and the command needs to know which device you want to
enable / disable.

But usually then don't need to be specified on the command line. The

made available, except for those with the ''noauto'' option. Devices
that are already running as swap are silently skipped.
