I use the following scripts with our Linux system

[george@alpha mbin]$ cat mount-temp
/bin/mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G,nr_inodes=5k tmpfs /usr/tmpfs
(cd /usr ; /bin/tar xvf /usr/drive1/tempfsbackup .)

[george@alpha mbin]$ cat unmount-temp
(cd /usr ; /bin/tar cvf /usr/drive1/tempfsbackup ./tmpfs)
/bin/umount /usr/tmpfs

First I created the /usr/tmpfs manually (by executing the first line of 
mount-temp)
Second, I cd'd into the directory, then UV to create a UV account
Third, I went into the UV login account, and linked it as a valid account (So I 
could reference Q pointers)

I run the unmount script to tar up the account first and save the tar file, 
then release the tempfs
I run the mount script to create the tempfs, then untar the account

I forget what the max size of the /tmpfs can be (I just set mine up with 1G)
