It is intended to appear as a mounted file system, but stored in volatile memory instead of a persistent storage device. ... On reboot, everything in tmpfs will be lost. ... Anything mounted on /media has to be of actual "type" of that media. Btw, a CD mounted on /media, even if temporarily, represents "a persistent storage device", and certainly NOT "volatile memory" (e.g. of type shm).
