Many Thanks Wolfgang Denk for your indacations.

My application now is running and it is stable with nfs-ELDK package, and I
want pass
to ram fs to do a more efficiently embedded system with the minimum
difference respect
 to nfs because I don't want to lose the stability.

Yes I will try the genext2fs  tool .

Yes I agree, but the question is : why a tool thought to check fs don't work
on my fs image? Where is the mistake?
Sorry, but what do yo mean with IMHO ?
