Would it really be better than doing the same through ext2? After all, Linux
is quite aggressive in caching (sometimes better than on-controller RAM
caches), so I don't think you'll see much of a difference. And because tmpfs
- if it's the same thing as under Solaris - resizes dynamically, wouldn't that
make the afs client module extremely unhappy?
