The file system would crash when you had a big query, such as using Tracker's Open With... when you have a lot of applications that can handle a file type. I suspect it was just exceeding dprintf's size limit. I've added a fixed version (I just compiled it with debug messages turned off) of the executable.

No chance at all. They aren't part of the computer's memory space. Instead, USB memory sticks appear as block devices, like hard drives. Just format them with a block oriented file system like BFS or FAT. Well, once BeOS has a generic USB block device driver then you can format them, etc.

A very nice project, I know I'll enjoy seeing it when it's completed. Is there any chance this might be used to read from\write to portable RAM devices such as the keychain USB drives? I'm pretty sure they're a modified FAT FS, I was curious know if this of RAM file system could be modified to read and write to the portable drives (in BFS, although reading them in their native FAT would be awesome:) ).

Yes, the new file system would be quite useful as a bootable CD's RAM file system. You'll have to do similar tricks as you did before to get the OS to use it from a CD. It also doesn't have the automatic restore from a file feature working (yet), so you'll have to make indices (using the mkindex command) and unzip your initial contents into it first. But it will be slightly faster, and take a lot less memory space - unused disk sectors don't exist, so they don't waste memory.

Some time ago, I changed the 2 files in /boot/beos/system/boot/ Bootscript and Bootscript.cd with RAMDrive to create a bootable and usable CD. (with some modifications to home/config too) and commands like
mkbfs /dev/disk/virtual/ram_drive RAMDrive
mountvolume RAMDrive
Do you think AGMSRAMFileSystem could also do it? Better?

First run the program and set the RAM disk mount point / name to something like "/MyRAMDisk" and set the max size you want, then exit. That will get saved in the program's settings file. Then in your /home/config/boot/UserBootscript add a line which says:
/boot/apps/AGMSFileSystemPacker CreateFileSystem
Change the /boot/apps to be the directory where you put the program.

How would I go about creating the virtual disk at boot automatically?
