Hello,

I'd building a system with a smallish flash drive and no swap (but plenty
of RAM), and would like to create a memory-based /tmp using md(4) or
whatever. Is this possible without swap or a file to back/initialize it?
I've checked the docs and mailing lists and haven't been able to turn up
much. There's mention of loading via module at boot, but this looks like
it needs a file.

Thanks,

dave.
