how do I mount tmpfs ?
I'm trying to mount a memory based file system in Solaris 10. According
to the mount_tmpfs man page:
NAME
mount_tmpfs - mount tmpfs file systems
SYNOPSIS
mount [ -F tmpfs] [ -o specific_options] [-O] special
mount_point
DESCRIPTION
tmpfs is a memory based file system which uses kernel
resources relating to the VM system and page cache as a file
system.
But there is no example of this. I've tried the following, but it
generates an error as you can see:
# mount -F tmpfs -o size=2048m /tmpfs
mount: Mount point cannot be determined
# ls -ld /tmpfs
drwx------ 2 root root 512 Oct 14 10:46 /tmpfs
What am I doing wrong?

I found the answer myself
mount -F tmpfs -o size=2048m -O swap /tmpfs

You forgot the "special". In this case, probably "swap". I've never
done this myself, but I know you're one arg short.
