jmmv 08d2474c3c s/tons/lots/, per simonb@'s suggestion. This looks more formal. 2007-01-03 08:39:29 +00:00
wiz b60285f6d5 Nicer macro usage. 2006-12-19 20:33:35 +00:00
jmmv 320a6bcfea Note that meta data is stored in non-pageable memory and the problems this
may carry.  Suggested by Greg Troxel in private mail.

jmmv 98f101bc9c tmpfs is not considered experimental any more. OK'ed by core@. 2006-11-11 19:01:30 +00:00
jmmv ff68701afc Point to the share/examples/fstab/fstab.ramdisk file for some more information. 2005-12-24 13:02:53 +00:00
jmmv 34afcb6a5d Add an EXAMPLES section. Requested by martti@ to clarify the purpose of
the field before the mount point.

jmmv 63fb4d1c52 Kill reference to tmpfs(9). Noticed by "pancake". 2005-09-25 18:27:30 +00:00
jmmv c23e2abdd5 Ignore case of trailing unit specifiers in size measures to remove confusion. 2005-09-25 08:11:50 +00:00
jmmv 847bd3696d Inherit owner, group and mode of the mount directory so that mounting a
tmpfs over, e.g., /tmp, is trivial.

jmmv b0085cab71 Kill the tmpfs(9) manual page; it was just documenting internal details of
tmpfs' "API" and was already rotting.

Instead, merge all the relevant comments into the code.  This includes
acknowledgements to Google's Summer of Code 2005 program (they were in the
AUTHORS section of tmpfs(9) before), so all the files need to be changed
to include this sentence alongside the title.  (Note that this was not a
requirement of the program.)

jmmv 8e0a777ab1 wiz@ remembers that the preferred way to spell file-system in NetBSD is
file system.

jmmv ec93365612 Initial addition of tmpfs, an efficient memory file-system. This project
was developed as part of Google's Summer of Code 2005 program.  This
change adds the kernel code, the mount_tmpfs utility, a regression test
suite and does all other related changes to integrate these.

The file-system is still *experimental*.  Therefore, it is disabled by
default in all kernels.  However, as typically done, a commented-out
entry is added in them to ease its setup.

Note that I haven't commited the required mountd(8) changes to be able
to export tmpfs file-systems because NFS support is still very unstable
and because, before enabling it, I'd like to do some other changes.

OK'ed by my project mentor, William Studenmund (wrstuden@).
