[Herts] Making a ramdisk for linux

[local.linux]

You can create a disk in the RAM and then use it like any other disk (of 
course it does not survive reboots).

simplest usage takes 50% of your ram.
mkdir /mnt/ramdisk && mount -t tmpfs none /mnt/ramdisk 

more complex example can be tweaked.
mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G,nr_inodes=10k,mode=0700 tmpfs /space
