Mounting mqueue.in as a tempfs...on FreeBSD

[Alex Neuman]

I googled about it for a while and found there are several PCI cards you can
buy that look like hard drives to your system, in configurations up to about
8gb. They're used mainly for things like tmpfs and for storing journals on
ext3 and reiserfs in RAM to speed up access.

I saw something somewhere about battery backed up solid state drives, but
haven't really looked into it closely.
