Is there a difference between /dev/md* and mounting a partition from
swap. Let me elaborate. I have a swap partition mounted and I have
/tmp mounted using the same address as that swap partition. Anything I
put in /tmp will therefore be gone upon reboot. Is this what's
considered a ramdisk in Freebsd? Or, is using /dev/md* mounted
somewhere what's known as a ramdisk in FreeBSD? In Linux, it's the
latter. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
