Hmmm... sorry,
didn't get that point.

So you'll get a real problem. AFAIK PostgreSQL will use diskspace if more
space is needed for sorts and other things, than RAM is available (better if
neded space exceeds the given values in postgresql.conf) But if disk is in
RAM .....

Maybe one of the developers can tell, what would happen. I think, you would
need a very spezialised code to run on diskless hosts.
