Where? On a ramdisk? If this is your case, you can try:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram* bs=1k count=4096
mke2fs /dev/ram*   (ram1 , ram2  as you need)
mount /dev/ram* /mnt  -t ext2 

or on a file. In this case maybe:
dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1k count=4096  (or whatever size you need)
mke2fs file
mount file -o loop /mnt  -t ext2 

Hope this helps
