[lug] RAM based files, file systems

[Steve Sullivan]

Is it possible to create files, or file systems,
that exist only in RAM?  Long ago Solaris supported
such a feature, but I don't find it in Linux.

Kind of like /proc, but where users can write small temp files
for better performance.

Many thanks,

Steve
