Good evening!
Such a task: There is a tmpfs or ramfs mounted in / mnt / fastmem, for example.
How to quickly make a copy of /mnt/fastmem on hard, to the fastmem.img file?
And how then to deploy this image back to RAM as quickly as possible?
Is it possible to do this with dd?
Thanks in advance!

Try fsarchiver
A very nice multi-threaded utility with various goodies.
Look carefully at the documentation
