-> Kernel option: CONFIG_TMPFS
-
-`mount -t tmpfs source target`
-
-A tmpfs can only grow to 50% of RAM avail. unless overridden with size=nbytes mount option.
-Only consumes RAM for actual usage.
-Data is ephemeral/volatile.
-
-Mount stacking: mount over existing /tmp, to improve speed of apps using alot of tmp files, then unmount to delete data.
-
-Kernel uses tmpfs for [[system v shared memory]] and [[shared anonymous memory mappings]].
-`/dev/shm` or `/run/shm`: [[glibc]] of [[POSIX]] shared memory and [[POSIX]] semaphores. \ No newline at end of file
