Hi all!
Have just discovered the filesystem tmpfs in Linux. It works like a RAM disk but better. Se this article: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-fs3.html

I have thousands and thousand of small cache files that I don't want to be written to the disk, and if I create a traditional RAM disk in OS X there is a lot of overhead, cause the filesystem will cache all files twice.

Does anyone know if there is a tmpfs-like filesystem for OS X?
Slightly OT, since I believe these tools don't exist in Darwin...
Checkout the manpage for hdid(8):


Doh! caffeine required. ok. looks like the double cache is somewhat
unavoidable.
