I'm not the op, but, in what sense do you say that?

I use tmpfs filesystems for files that either I want fast access to (ram speed) 
or want to make sure they disappear on reboot / power loss.

I have tried to do a little reading since I saw this, I see some references 
that say it is stored on RAM, some others that say it is stored in virtual 
memory and could be on swap.

Among other things, should I be worried that it won't disappear on power loss 
/ reboot?
