/*
NOTE:
if the ramdisk not explizit created with ramdiskCreate (e.g ramdiskMount("RAMDISK:", NULL))
the ramdisk is implizit created. When unmount this "auto-created" ramdisk the ramdisk automitic deleted

but if the ramdisk explizit created (with ramdiskCreate), 
then we can remount the filesystem without lost all datas.

Example1:
=========
void *ram = ramdiskCreate();		// create ramdisk
ramdiskMount("RAM", ram);			// mount the ramdisk
...
fopen("RAM:/file", ...);
...
ramdiskMount("MEM", ram);			// remount as MEM: (without lost of data)
...
fopen("RAM:/file", ...);
...
ramdiskUnmount("MEM");				// unmount
...
ramdiskMount("RAM", ram);			// remount as RAM: (without lost of data)
...
ramdiskDelete(ram);					// unmount and delete

Example2:
=========
ramdiskMount("RAM", NULL);			// create and mount the ramdisk
...
fopen("RAM:/file", ...);
...
ramdiskUnmount("RAM");					// unmount and delete
