Public Sticky notes
Another possibility is to create a brand new memory device. We can do this with the filesystem type: tmpfs. Let's say you want to create a tmpfs instance on /var/www/www.mysite.com/ramdrive that can allocate a max of 500MB RAM and that can only be changed by root, but accessed by everyone (like Apache):
mkdir -p /var/www/www.mysite.com/ramdrive
mount -t tmpfs -o size=500M,mode=0744 tmpfs /var/www/www.mysite.com/ramdrive
