You can have /etc/svc/volatile be a tmpfs mount today if you want. Just
need to make sure your brand / boot time code is doing the right thing.
In both the GZ and NGZ, /etc/svc/volatile is tmpfs, but we also wanted
it that way.

That said, I'd try and figure out *why* it's being hammered and make
sure it's functioning correctly before you worry about the file system type.
