So what's the recipy?

That depends what you want. Only you can decide that. 'man mount'
describes the meaning of the options. On one system I have:

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,size=8G,nr_inodes=256k,nosuid 0 0

Sorry, I'd assumed that from the context of the previous discussions it
would have been reasonably clear what I'd like. I said in an earlier
posting:

I've found that I can do something like

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/tmp

followed by

sudo -t tmpfs -o size=20m tmpfs /mnt/tmp

to create a temporary 20meg 'ram disc' mounted at /mnt/tmp

and that does what I want. But the second command needs repeating after
each bootup.

So my aim is to have this setup automatically via fstab, but I'd prefer a
name /mnt/ramdisc and a size of, say, 128m. I'd like that name because it
reminds me of what I can easily use for my RO programs where the data is
stored in ram.

So do that. What’s stopping you?
