I asked once before, and got some good information, but I'm still
confused. I have a TS7250 that I want to use in an embedded
application. When done, I'd like to be able to just kill the power
without corrupting the filesystem. The answer I got was to mount the
filesystem read-only, and to make a RAM drive for temporary files. I'm
not sure how to do this last part.  Reading through the message
archives, I found something that suggests making a mount point at
/var/ramfs, and something else that says to use tmpfs. what are these?
How do I use these? Should I just make a symlink from /tmp to
/var/ramfs? Can someone give me an example of how to set up a RAM disk
for files Linux writes that I don't care about? Is /tmp the only mount
point I need to mount on a RAM drive? what about /var? Can that be
mounted RO? Thanks in advance for any clarification on this. I'd like
to begin using the 7250 as a stand-alone box, instead of telnet'ing-in
to start the application and shut down the system when I'm done.
