This Project is Actually as I mentioned earlier is a Caching Project and this will be the part of SAN (Storage Area Network) Device. So, I m following the Architecture smililar to Disk Caching Disk, in which 1 Disk is used for caching of data for many larger disks. But here in my case I m using RAMDISK other than the caching disk.

If I understand correctly, earlier you said that you can use your RAM into multiple ramdisks totalling 7GB or more, and the only thing you are unable to do is to make it a single ramdisk. If that is the case, I guess you should be able to kludge those ramdisks together using raid0 or LVM.
