I'm glad the issue was raised when it was. It reminded me that I had similar
concerns about the TS-7250 and writing to a file every 2 seconds for anywhere
from 45 minutes to 6 hours during a data collection cycle.
An internet search turned up a message thread on this mailing list from
October of 2005 with the subject line "How to use tmpfs on TS-Linux?".
I was able to mount ramfs with a 1M file size limit. This should be enough to
handle a 12 hour run cycle (twice the longest expected), and still allow about
0.5 to 1Meg of RAM to still be free at peak usage when ghostscript is
processing a .ps file for printing and PDF file generation.
