Feature request: change an existing volume's drive letter in RAM FS

Feature request: change an existing volume's drive letter in RAM FS   07 August 2026, 17:25

Currently the drive letter field is grayed out in an existing volume's "volume properties" window.

If I want to assign a different drive letter to an existing volume, I need to delete the old volume, create a new one, and manually set all the properties again, which is time‑consuming and error‑prone.

It would be very helpful if RAM FS could directly change the drive letter of an already mounted or saved volume, similar to what's already available in RAM Disk.

Thank you for considering this request!

Thank you for the suggestion. We have just implemented it, and it will be included in the next RAM FS release next week. You will be able to change the drive letter directly in the properties of an existing volume, just like in RAM Disk.

The next release will also include a number of other fixes and a new folder synchronisation feature. This will work similarly to an image-backed persistent drive, except with regular folder used as the backing store.
