Thanks for the reply!

To see if I understood correctly, you're proposing me to replace /var and /tmp (and whichever writable file systems I "don't care about losing their data") in my fstab with a memory file system whose "source" will be the appropriate device node? If so, I like the idea, otherwise please re-explain.

Ah, and the -P option can be added in fstab's options?

EDIT: I am trying to create one but I don't think I'm getting the syntax right. I am not sure what to put as a special node (I tried md without luck). So I ran this:
Code:
# mount_mfs  -P /var -s 256m md /root/var
mount_mfs: md: No such file or directory
Could you please give an example (and also the relevant fstab entry)?
