I suspect your difficulty is in expecting it to be more complex than it is. Short answer: add the appropriate line to your /etc/fstab. It really is that simple. My /tmp is an mfs. It is enabled with this line in /etc/fstab: swap /tmp mfs rw,async,noatime,nodev,noexec,-s=524288 0 0 The fstab(5) man page has the some of the nitty gritty. The rest is in the mount_mfs man page. You can ignore the vast majority of fine tuning options. If you want to populate your MFS with content look at the -P option of mount_mfs. // marc
