Questions tagged [tmpfs]

tmpfs is a common name for a temporary file storage facility on many Unix-like operating systems.

It is intended to appear as a mounted file system, but stored in volatile memory instead of a persistent storage device. A similar construction is a RAM disk, which appears as a virtual disk drive and hosts a disk file system.
