Hi Eric,

The below elucidates what I do:

tar -czf test.tgz temp/* (temp is a sample folder)
cp test.tgz /dev/shmem
tar -xzf test.tgz

This results in a folder "temp" with its files in /dev/shmem.

Regards,
Lakshminarayanan

Lakshminarayanan,

In general, the RAM filesystem built into the process manager doesn't support directory creation.
More information here:

ml#RAM

The answer to you question is thus no.

I'm not sure what you are doing or what the results you report with regards to untarring and a folder being created in /
dev/shmem...

Regards,

Eric
