Well if it is indeed Linux, then /dev/shm probably already exists depending on your distro.
Ah, yes there it is, useful! Just so I got this right, because I’m not in a position to test Maya on Linux at the moment, you’re saying that even if you export to /dev/shm via cmds.file it will still not work? Because it writes to this temporary directory first? Or are you saying it *did* work, in which case the file never enters the hard-disk and can still be accessed like a normal file? Sorry for the confusion, I’m half-way lost. At that point, you are basically free to do it however you want, be it a memory mapped file, a pipe, tempfs, or writing nothing at all and updating your Facebook status. Can you imagine?
