You can preserve a TMPFS across reboots or unmounts by adding an entry to the /etc/vfstab file. Edit the file to add an entry like this, separating each field with a tab:
swap - mount-point tmpfs - yes - |
mount-point |
The default mount point directory. |
Files in the TMPFS are not preserved; only the file system itself.
For more information about editing the /etc/vfstab file, see Chapter 28, Mounting and Unmounting File Systems (Tasks).
