Swap space is actually used in this case, thank you!
If you look at the code which handles tmpmfs it is used for diskless booting.
"By default, mdmfs creates a swap-based (MD_SWAP) disk" -- from mdmfs(8).
So there is no swap usable for ramdisk.
Should I send-pr a bug in mdmfs(8)?
Maybe I'm missing something, but tmpmfs works malloc-based by default.
tmpmfs is not an easy way to set up a swap-based ramdisk. It is meant to setup diskless systems easily.

tmp:case "${tmpmfs}" in
