[dba-Tech] VMWare - Sharing a ramdrive on the host system

I would think that if the RAM drive has a drive letter that you could just
treat it as a shared folder and use it like a regular shared drive.  Have
not tried it with a RAM drive though.

The simply answer to that is. yes. The maximum amount of memory is less than
the amount for the VM... of course.

I am looking at running a VM where the software needs access to a ram drive
on the host machine.  Is this possible and how do I do it?
