tmpfs on linux is pretty reliable. From my other post you can see I use it by default :-) Not sure what you're trying to do, but you might want to combine it with union mounting. If you want to create temporary workspace, you might be better creating it on disk and throwing it away when you're finished, but if you really want to use ramdisk then ... Create a set of empty files pointed to from your VOC (or VOCLIB) elsewhere. Union mount a tmpfs over the directory containing your empty files, and then you don't need to worry about whether they're there after a reboot or anything like that. When the system comes up, it will see the empty files on the hard disk. As the files are updated, they'll be stored on ramdisk. When the system reboots, the updated files will be lost and the system will once again see the empty files on disk ... usw usw usw.
