Very helpful! As addition can only say that you also should put a symlink in /etc/rcS.d right after mountall.sh (in my case it has S35, so name it for example S36ramdisk.sh), and also put it in /etc/fstab, together with /tmp, which is also making a bit if a write cycles. Here are the lines: tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0 tmpfs /var tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0 tmpfs is dynamic, while ramfs is static, so if you are not tight on ram you should use tmpfs for /var to not to freeze your system. Hope that helps. Thank you very much for your article!

tmpfs is dynamic, while ramfs is static, so if you are not tight on ram you should use tmpfs for /var to not to freeze your system.
Hope that helps.
