iirc ramfs dynamically allocates data for its files.
data that is all 0 is not stored in memory.
ramdisk reserves a section of memory and presents it as a disk device.
cfs seems to assume the ramfs file is of 0 size.

you are running it with -d. this enables debugging and keeps in in the foreground. it is not hung, it is waiting for a 9p connection.
