I'm running a ramdisk that I want to startup with specific permissions (e.g. need guest to have full access). I don't want anything that was written to this ramdisk to be saved across reboot - except the permissions for guest.
It would be nice if I could also have it be shared, but I have a workaround for that using ntfs junctions. I share a real disk and just link it to the ramdisk via a junction.
The goal is to be able to have a VMware virtual machine use this ramdisk as a shared network disk drive. I have it all working except that each time I reboot, I have to manually setup the guest permissions on the ramdisk. And that's what I want to automate.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This can achieved with a ready-only image as follows:
- Create an image of the appropriate size (the size of desired RAM Disk) with Image - Create Image.
- Mount the image with Image - Mount Image and set the permissions as required.
- Dismount the image file with Image - Unmount Image.
- Create a RAM Disk and specify the image file prepared above. Do not tick Save Contents to Image.
