       The simplest option is probably to mount a tmpfs filesystem and

mount_tmpfs: tmpfs on /ramdisk: Operation not supported by device

 

       # cp -R /somedir /ramdisk

       the tmpfs will grow and shrink as necessary, so watch out if you
       put too much data on there and use up all your ram...     

Understood

this seems like the solution for me.

I'll try out the other things you suggested asap.
