Yes, 1kb should be enough ?! The interesting thing is that mounttab is only created by nfsclient - on my disk'ed system I have no such file.
There's plenty of RAM on the workstations; it shouldn't be a problem to keep the ramdisk. I've done some monitoring for three weeks or so, and there's hardly any swapping to the nfs swapfiles involved.
Then simply remove the nfs mounted /var. You want to keep an nfs mounted /var if you have data that you want to keep persistent, but if you keep the nfs /var then you also have to bother about cleaning it up.
I only wonder if I could simply reuse /dev/md0 for something else than var (say newfs and mounting it somewhere else, e.g. on /tmp), because:
The problem is: If you first unmount the memory disk /var, the nfs mount of /var will fail as before. If you unmount /var after the nfs mount - what are you unmounting?
