 Xin,

This is a Great feature and it has several use cases, what about the
possibility of a sysctl that adds a max amount
that a jail could set a tmpfs... this would be per jail, now in theory you
could over commit resources, but that would
be a administrators decision, and not one jail could consume all resources.
