+This optional file, which resides in the rootfs system, not in the live media as above mentioned files, if exists will be used as a list of directories which not need to be persistent and which their content does not need to survive reboots. This is achieved by bind mounting for each directory listed there a tmpfs on the original path. This will permits to save precious writes and speed up operations for content like web caches and temporary files (like e.g.  /tmp and .mozilla) which are regenerated each time.
