A simple mount command would be something like:

mount -t tmpfs -o size=512m tmpfs /mnt/memory

If you don't specify the size= option, the kernel will use a size equal

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can
work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those
acts will be written the history of this generation. - Robert F.
