don't allow tmpfs to page out

Hi,
Is it possible to disable the tmpfs feature to page out memory to swap?
I didn't find any mount option or something like that for it in the documentation.

I suspect a regular ramdisk, as opposed to tmpfs, would do what
you want.
Cheers,

No, since a regular ramdisk is static in size.

In 2.4, too? Can't find it.
What's the CONFIG_* of ramfs?

Ok, that's the thing /dev/ram* is about, isn't it? I already have a /dev/ram mounted somewhere, but it's not dynamic in size. What am I missing. I'm kind of confused now. :)
