At the moment FreeBSD includes a memory-based file system called mfs. - mfs is just an implementation of the regular ffs - designed for - persistent storage - on top of the (volatile) virtual memory system. - This means that it uses the same data structures as the on-disk - implementation, rendering less than optimal performance and memory - usage. With tmpfs, FreeBSD would gain a memory file system which uses - less memory and is faster.

-

Goals:

-
    -
  • Port the tmpfs file system.
  • -
  • Adopt the documentation (including the file system how-to)
  • -
-

Howard and Glen are working on this, the current status is available - in the wiki.
