Q: Ramdisks: check/free

Hi,

I have two probably stupid questions regarding ramdisks:

1.) How do I check if a ramdisk is free so I can easily take the first
on which is not allready used by something else.

2.) How do I free the memory allocated by a ramdisk.

I've just spend a few secs in the ramdisk code and didn't find any hooks
in the code for this stuff. Is it possible at all?

yours,
- clifford
