5 NAME
6 mount_tmpfs - mount tmpfs file systems
7
8 SYNOPSIS
9 mount [-F tmpfs] [-o specific_options] [-O] special mount_point
10
11
12 DESCRIPTION
13 tmpfs is a memory based file system which uses kernel resources
14 relating to the VM system and page cache as a file system.
15
16
17 mount attaches a tmpfs file system to the file system hierarchy at the
18 pathname location mount_point, which must already exist. If mount_point
19 has any contents prior to the mount operation, these remain hidden
20 until the file system is once again unmounted. The attributes (mode,
21 owner, and group) of the root of the tmpfs filesystem are inherited
22 from the underlying mount_point, provided that those attributes are
23 determinable. If not, the root's attributes are set to their default
24 values. The mode may also be overriden by the mode mount option, which
25 takes precedence if set.
26
27
28 The special argument is usually specified as swap but is in fact
29 disregarded and assumed to be the virtual memory resources within the
30 system.
31
32 OPTIONS
33 -o specific_options
34 Specify tmpfs file system specific options in a
35 comma-separated list with no intervening spaces.
36 If invalid options are specified, a warning
37 message is printed and the invalid options are
38 ignored. The following options are available:
39
40 remount
41
42 Remounts a file system with a
43 new size. A size not
44 explicitly set with remount
