This is true; however, I would like much more flexibility than that. 
The development images create a /etc/fstab file then use that to mount
volumes.  So for these, would they use entries like:

none /var/log tmpfs rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid,size=16m
none /tmp     tmpfs rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid,size=32m

...then these can be mounted like this:

mount /var/log
mount /tmp

I'm not too concerned about which filesystem gets used; I just want a
user to be able to choose whatever they like just by editing the
configuration files.
