I'm looking for a ramdisk-style filesystem for FreeBSD that can be used for scratch space, e.g., tmpfs in Solaris. The filesystem should be able to grow and shrink in memory (and use real disk space as needed) depending on the amount of free RAM on the system. I don't want just a fixed sized block of memory reserved for /tmp. I will be using this for scratch files that are quickly created and then destroyed, and will average around 2MB each. We are expecting out tmp filesystem to need around 256MB to 512MB on average.
