System Administration Commands                    mount_tmpfs(1M)



NAME
     mount_tmpfs - mount tmpfs file systems

SYNOPSIS
     mount [  -F  tmpfs]  [  -o  specific_options]  [-O]  special
     mount_point

DESCRIPTION
     tmpfs is a  memory  based  file  system  which  uses  kernel
     resources relating to the VM system and page cache as a file
     system.

     mount attaches a  tmpfs  file  system  to  the  file  system
     hierarchy  at  the pathname location mount_point, which must
     already exist. If mount_point has any contents prior to  the
     mount  operation,  these remain hidden until the file system
     is once again unmounted. The attributes  (mode,  owner,  and
     group)  of  the  root  of the tmpfs filesystem are inherited
     from the underlying mount_point, provided that those  attri-
     butes  are  determinable.  If not, the root's attributes are
     set to their default values.

     The special argument is usually specified as swap but is  in
     fact  disregarded  and  assumed  to  be  the  virtual memory
     resources within the system.

OPTIONS
     -o specific_options     Specify tmpfs file  system  specific
                             options  in  a  comma-separated list
                             with  no  intervening   spaces.   If
                             invalid  options  are  specified,  a
                             warning  message is printed and  the
                             invalid  options  are  ignored.  The
                             following options are available:


                             size=sz         The sz argument con-
                                             trols  the  size  of
                                             this      particular
                                             tmpfs  file  system.
                                             If the  argument  is
                                             has  a  `k'  suffix,
                                             the number  will  be
                                             interpreted   as   a
                                             number of kilobytes.
                                             An  `m'  suffix will
                                             be interpreted as  a
                                             number of megabytes.
                                             No suffix is  inter-
                                             preted  as bytes. In
                                             all    cases,    the

NOTES
     If the directory on which a file system is to be mounted  is
     a symbolic link, the file system is mounted on the directory
     to which the symbolic link refers, rather than on top of the
     symbolic link itself.
