[Fwd: problem in creating ram-disk]

Hi,
I am trying to create a ramdisk using following commands.

dd if=/dev/zero of=initrd.img  bs=1k  count=<6144>
mke2fs -i 1024 -b 1024 -m 5 -F -v initrd.img

But the problem is the device size get created is always  around  1Mb less than the
requested size. (if I  dd with count = 6144,  the size of the device is 5.2 Mb ).
But I notice that your ramdisk has 5.8Mb for the same size image.
Could you please tell what are the parameters you use.

Regards.

Nandana
