I often see this term, but even now I'm still not very clear on what it means. Is it a temporary disk virtualized with memory? What is it used for? And what is the specific usage? Thanks

Yes. What is it used for? To provide a relatively large disk space for extracting software compressed on a boot disk.

This space is created in memory, so it's called ramd

It depends on your needs.. Generally, because of speed, about 2-4M.
