I don't know anything about ramfs but maybe you can modify it to read
all disk from storage then write back when done? Sounds really
inefficient though. Maybe if it was done with system files it'd be
more practical. AFAIK, but a bit off topic, DamnSmallLinux can do
this. Maybe you'd like to check that out.
