NAME
tmpfs - memory based file system
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mount.h>
mount(special, directory, MS_DATA, MNTTYPE_TMPFS, NULL, 0, NULL, 0);
DESCRIPTION
tmpfs is a memory based file system which uses kernel resources relat‐
ing to the VM system and page cache as a file system. Once mounted, a
tmpfs file system provides standard file operations and semantics.
tmpfs is so named because files and directories are not preserved
across reboot or unmounts, all files residing on a tmpfs file system
that is unmounted will be lost.
tmpfs file systems can be mounted with the command:
mount -F tmpfs swap directory
The system automatically mounts a tmpfs file system on /tmp during sys‐
tem boot. Additional tmpfs file systems can be mounted by adding a line
like the following to /etc/vfstab:
swap − directory tmpfs − yes −
tmpfs is designed as a performance enhancement which is achieved by
caching the writes to files residing on a tmpfs file system. Perfor‐
mance improvements are most noticeable when a large number of short
lived files are written and accessed on a tmpfs file system. Large com‐
pilations with tmpfs mounted on /tmp are a good example of this.
Users of tmpfs should be aware of some constraints involved in mounting
a tmpfs file system. The resources used by tmpfs are the same as those
used when commands are executed (for example, virtual memory alloca‐
tion). This means that large sized tmpfs files can affect the amount of
space left over for programs to execute. Limits can be placed on the
size to which a tmpfs filesystem can grow by using the -o size option
in the /etc/vfstab file or when running the mount command as documented
in mount_tmpfs(8).
Likewise, programs requiring large amounts of memory use up the space
available to tmpfs. Users running into this constraint (for example,
running out of space on tmpfs) can allocate more swap space by using
the swap(8) command, or by increasing the size of existing ZFS swap
volumes.
Another constraint is that the number of files available in a tmpfs
file system is calculated based on the physical memory of the machine
and not the size of the swap device/partition. If you have too many
files, tmpfs will print a warning message and you will be unable to
create new files. You cannot increase this limit by adding swap space.
Normal file system writes are scheduled to be written to a permanent
storage medium along with all control information associated with the
file (for example, modification time, file permissions). tmpfs control
information resides only in memory and never needs to be written to
permanent storage. File data remains in core until memory demands are
sufficient to cause pages associated with tmpfs to be reused at which
time they are copied out to swap.
An additional mount option can be specified to control the size of an
individual tmpfs file system.

DIAGNOSTICS
If tmpfs runs out of space, one of the following messages will display
in the console.
directory: File system full, swap space limit exceeded
This message appears because a page could not be allocated while
writing to a file. This can occur if tmpfs is attempting to write
more than it is allowed, or if currently executing programs are us‐
ing a lot of memory. To make more space available, remove unneces‐
sary files, exit from some programs, or allocate more swap space
using swap(8).
directory: File system full, memory allocation failed
tmpfs ran out of physical memory while attempting to create a new
file or directory. Remove unnecessary files or directories or in‐
stall more physical memory.
WARNINGS
Files and directories on a tmpfs file system are not preserved across
reboots or unmounts. Command scripts or programs which count on this
will not work as expected.
NOTES
swap to a tmpfs file is not supported.
df(8) output is of limited accuracy since a tmpfs file system size is
not static and the space available to tmpfs is dependent on the virtual
memory usage of the entire system.
Only a subset of the available extended system attributes are supported
on tmpfs file systems. See the entry for each attribute in the
sysattr(7) man page for details.
