If the block device supports DAX and the filesystem supports DAX, then you can avoid using the pagecache to buffer I/Os. Turning on this option will compile in support for DAX; you will need to mount the filesystem using the -o dax option. If you do not have a block device that is capable of using this, or if unsure, say N.

Everything in tmpfs is temporary in the sense that no files will be created on your hard drive. The files live in memory and swap space. If you unmount a tmpfs instance, everything stored therein is lost.

If you've selected TMPFS, it's possible that you'll also need this option as there are a number of Linux distros that require POSIX ACL support under /dev for certain features to work properly. For example, some distros need this feature for ALSA-related /dev files for sound to work properly. In short, if you're not sure, say Y.
