I would like to know if there is a mount command that allows to create a

configured via fstab.
Yes. See mdconfig(8) -- there are examples in there of exactly what you
want to do.

I might be missing something in the mdconfig man page, but in the
examples I see they always allow modifications to the backing file. As I
said I am looking for a solution where the backing file is only read,
but I want to mount the memory disk in read-write mode. Also, I want
only the modifications to be kept in the RAM, not the initial files.
Thanks!
