tmpfs -- where's the M to R?
I'm interested in tmpfs for several reasons, one of them is setting up a diskless terminal. I found a few mentions of tmpfs in the FAQ and a brief mention in the Multi Disk Tuning HOWTO, but I couldn't find any docs on it. Most of what I read said that there was no tmpfs implementation in Linux, but my config (kernel 2.4.8) says there is. Any pointers to documentation would be appreciated.
TIA,

(PS. Please CC any responses to me.)

Look at the help for tmpfs in "make menuconfig", if you highlight it then select "help" ... it explains how to mount it and what some of the options are.
