Sometimes OPS need RAM drives.

I use one for nginx cache at my CDN servers

mount -t tmpfs -o size=sizeM tmpfs /mnt/ramdrive/

Add required lines to PH host fstab and to LXC fstab

tmpfs /mnt/ramdrive tmpfs size=2000M,mode=0777

How to resize ram drive:

mount -o remount,size=new-sizeM /mnt/ramdrive/
