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)?
