I have a script that allows me to |mount| a folder to |tmpfs|, while

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?
No, there is not. And I don't really see this a strong enough usecase
to make it something native.
Sorry.

Thanks for the answer. :)
No need to be sorry, my question was a sanity check.
Now I can go and make a systemd module calling my script without fear of
being called noob.
