Re: Using LMDB without memory mapped files

I am using LMDB in an investigation project. It works perfectly with

code.
Remove the database file if present before mdb_env_open(), and after
mdb_env_close() to clean up. Enable environment option MDB_NOSYNC.
And maybe MDB_WRITEMAP, but note its documented disadvantages.
Is there any way to configure or modify LMDB code to work in main
memory
instead memory mapped files?
No such option, and a tweaking the code would be cumbersome in places.
Use an in-memory filesystem, like tmpfs on Linux. (Not the same as /tmp,
but sometimes /tmp uses tmpfs.) tmpfs still swaps to disk, though.
