I just added it to fstab so that it mounts automatically. If I am
running some program that needs that much ram, I can always unmount it.
If course, when knotify went wonky the other day and was using 14Gbs of
ram, it didn't complain about tmpfs or anything. It did get a bit slow
until I killed it. Don't have KDE running when you recompile some parts
of it. ;-)
