In contrast to RAM disks, which get allocated a ficed aount of physical RAM, tmps grows and shrinks to accommodate the files it contains and is able to swap unneeded pages out to swap space. */ Well, it doesn't grows, neither shrinks, but maybe it's only me because I'm a newbie with this. How does tmpfs works, and how do I configure it correctly.
