Description

Writes to a mounted virtual filesystem can be discarded like data sent to /dev/null. This is useful for testing, benchmarking, or workflows that need a filesystem target without retaining written data.

It is a kernel filesystem module built with DKMS. Anything written to it is intentionally lost, so never use it where stored data should be preserved.
