Can you explain why you chose /var/memdir and not /tmp/memdir as it is by its very nature temporary. /tmp is often already on a ramdisk-like virtual filesystem, e.g. tmpfs. If not, some boot script cleans up tmp. So /tmp/memdir is gone after a reboot. /var is on persistent storage, so /var/memdir will survive a reboot. Also, any reason to set the number of blocks to zero? /etc/fstab is structured, six fields separated by whitespace. This implies that no field can contain whitespace. The fields are (in order):
"size=1M" is part of the mount options in field 4, the two zeros after that are fields 5 and 6. stevieb proposed to add this to fstab:
Split at whitespace and compare with the field descriptions. Alexander
