When I need a ramdisk, I usually do it this way: * Use "dd if=/dev/zero ..." to create a large file in tmpfs, which can use swap but will behave like a ramdisk as long as there's memory for it. * Make the file appear as a disk using losetup. * Use mkfs on the pseudo-disk and mount it. The semantics, therefore, are the semantics of whatever filesystem you used to format the pseudo-disk. That includes xattrs if you used ext4, XFS, etc.
