 will give you tmpfs instance on /mytmpfs which can allocate 10GB
 RAM/SWAP in 10240 inodes and it is only accessible by root.
 
+tmpfs has the following mounting options for case-insensitive lookups support:
+
+================= ==============================================================
+casefold          Enable casefold support at this mount point using the given
+                  argument as the encoding standard. Currently only UTF-8
+                  encodings are supported. If no argument is used, it will load
+                  the latest UTF-8 encoding available.
+strict_encoding   Enable strict encoding at this mount point (disabled by
+                  default). In this mode, the filesystem refuses to create file
+                  and directory with names containing invalid UTF-8 characters.
+================= ==============================================================
+
+Note that this option doesn't enable casefold by default; one needs to set
+casefold flag per directory, setting the +F attribute in an empty directory. New
+directories within a casefolded one will inherit the flag.
+
+Example::
+
+    $ mount -t tmpfs -o casefold=utf8-12.1.0,strict_enconding fs_name /mytmpfs
+    $ mount -t tmpfs -o casefold fs_name /mytmpfs
