I would add to this that there are no maintenance procedures associated
with the temp ramdisk.  It should not get full, as Max stated, because,
as I stated, it is only for short term temporary files.  Very short
term. It lives in memory (hence the name) and therefore is not
persistent storage, so any reboot or unmounting of that filesystem will
obviously clear it.  Do not attempt to mount or unmount it yourself.

Cheers,

a
