What are the limitations on the size of an mfs (memory based) file
system on BSDi 2.x?  Obviously it's limited by available RAM.  Also,
what is the proper way to specify the desired size of the mfs
partition (/tmp in this case) in /etc/fstab?

I'm seeing this error message periodically but can't trace it to a
process writing to /tmp....it's happening too fast and when I'm not
watching.  :-)
