I asked back on May 7th about how to set up a RAMdisk on FreeBSD. Is it analagous to mounting a "procfs" via my /etc/fstab or something? Does the online handbook have some good write-ups about how to make it work?

Date: Tue, 7 May 2002 13:09:26 -0700 (PDT) Leafing through the latest issue of "2600" magazine (http://www.2600.com) ... recently opened files, etc were saved to and from a RAMdisk instead of the HD. The theory is that no matter how much deletion the user does, no matter how much encryption and passwords are used, there is always swap files and something pesky called microscopy which can recover data from a HD. The article said the system will run the OS, applications and open files faster -- hence I ask: How does one set up a RAMdisk on FreeBSD? :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
