Procedure

Sizing files based on available /dev/shm space. Largest file size limited to 1 gB.

The /dev/zero to /dev/shm write is done ten times with a dd command:

 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/shm/memToMem.$I.zero bs=200000 count=$ddCount

The /dev/shm copy to /tmp is done ten times with the cp command:

cp -p /dev/shm/memToMem.$I.zero ./memToFile.$I.zero
