+This paper describes the motivations for memory-based filesystems.
+It compares techniques used to implement them and
+describes the drawbacks of using dedicated memory to
+support such filesystems.
+To avoid the drawbacks of using dedicated memory,
+it discusses building a simple memory-based
+filesystem in pageable memory.
+It details the performance characteristics of this filesystem
+and concludes with areas for future work.
