memory storage

Linux offers a powerful, yet often underappreciated feature known as tmpfs (temporary file system). This flexible file system allows you to create a storage space directly in your computer’s RAM or swap, making it extremely fast compared to traditional disk storage. In this blog, we’re going to delve into what tmpfs is, why you might want to use it, and how to set it up on your system. tmpfs is a virtual memory file system that stores data in RAM or swap space. It uses a combination of computer RAM and disk-based swap space to create a filesystem, such as /tmp, which can be used for storing files temporarily.
