Hello,

The latest version of this software is 2.0. You can check your system by using:

swlist | grep -i memfs

for 11iv3, it's only the bundle version available?

Here is the output of swlist on a 11.31...

as per the description fo r3.0:
What Is In This Depot?

The depot delivers MemFS bundle (revision: B.11.31.03) and other needed patches. MemFS bundle delivers the kernel module and commands in the following products:

1.MemoryFSKern, revision=B.11.31.03

Maximum amount of memory and swap that can be used by MemFS can be tuned.

2.MemoryFSCmd, revision=B.11.31.03
