will give you tmpfs instance on /mytmpfs which can allocate 10GB
RAM/SWAP in 10240 inodes and it is only accessible by root.
tmpfs has the following mounting options for case-insensitive lookup support:
================= ==============================================================
casefold Enable casefold support at this mount point using the given
argument as the encoding standard. Currently only UTF-8
encodings are supported. If no argument is used, it will load
the latest UTF-8 encoding available.
strict_encoding Enable strict encoding at this mount point (disabled by
default). In this mode, the filesystem refuses to create file
and directory with names containing invalid UTF-8 characters.
================= ==============================================================
This option doesn't render the entire filesystem case-insensitive. One needs to
still set the casefold flag per directory, by flipping the +F attribute in an
empty directory. Nevertheless, new directories will inherit the attribute. The
mountpoint itself cannot be made case-insensitive.
Example::
$ mount -t tmpfs -o casefold=utf8-12.1.0,strict_encoding fs_name /mytmpfs
$ mount -t tmpfs -o casefold fs_name /mytmpfs
