$ settrans --create --active ramdisk0 /hurd/storeio -T copy zero:32M

This uses [[settrans]] and [[storeio]] to create a ramdisk of 32 MiB by routing
a thusly sized [[zero store|zero]] through the [[copy store|copy]], connecting
that to the `ramdisk0` node, create a `ext2` filesystem on it, and replace the
translator running on the `ramdisk0` node with a instance of the [[`ext2fs`
translator|translator/ext2fs]] running on the same node ([[translator
stacking|translator/stacking]]).
It is a [[!taglink open_issue_hurd]] why this does only work with
`ext2fs.static`, but not the dynamically linked `ext2fs` (`settrans:
/hurd/ext2fs: Translator died`).
A (better) alternative would be using the [[`tmpfs`
translator|translator/tmpfs]], but that one is broken at the moment.
