From http://coda.wikidev.net/Optimizing_Coda_6.x#Client_Cache :

"If you put your client cache on a ram drive, your cache will not be
persistent between venus restarts. To accommodate this, put the line,
“dontuservm=1” in your venus.conf file. This will keep the clients very
fast and reduce unnecessary disk writes."
