I have a script that allows me to |mount| a folder to |tmpfs|, while bind-mounting the same folder to another location, so I can sync the contents (on startup, shutdown, and when needed) between the |tmpfs| and the original folder on system drive.

I use it for folders that see many writes, but whose data should be preserved after a reboot.

Mostly to use a USB flash drive or SD card as system drive, while running programs that aggressively write round-robin databases or similar small-size-high-write files.


Sooo..... I was wondering if systemd allows me to do something like that natively.

I did look at the tmpfs modules of systemd, but from what I understood it does deal with making non-persistent tmpfs on the fly, clean temporary files from a folder and so on.

Is there a persistency option I did miss perhaps?
