      I think it would be useful at least for for SSD users if the Ram disk settings could be set/enabled individually for the /tmp and /var directorys.

      Its useful to run /tmp in ram but not the /var from the point of view of losing logs after a reboot unless the /var folder is downloaded before hand.

      Saying that, it would probably also be useful if the var log could be mapped to a network share just for extra flexibility.

      fwiw.
