Given that fdisk -l shows 16 ram disks /dev/ram0 ... /ram15 asks "If not, how can I get rid of that fdisk output?" Perhaps you could explain why the one answer that actually deals with the OP's question gets deleted AND includes 2 other possible options, while the answer that remains makes no attempt to do so?

You're right, upon re-reading the question and the answer it is an attempt to answer the question. I have undeleted it.
You've got a point there: I too think the answer shouldn't have been deleted, as it kinda answers the question (meaning: the first method is theoretically a perfect method to accomplish what OP is clearly after, although it's badly implemented).
That being said, your answer should have been downvoted / edited: it misses all the devices not handled by the sd_mod
module.
All in all since that is improveable through an edit, I think it should be undeleted.
I'm putting this separately since it strays from the answer to the question.
Since only stating negatives always seems critical, to tell the full story: moderators are right 99% of the times: that answer was really borderline, since it was correct in its gist but wrong in its implementation.

@muru "Is it safe to delete them? If not, how can I get rid of that fdisk output?": it seems to be answering the question to me, although not in a good way. What am I missing?– kosCommented Dec 27, 2015 at 14:34
