Wouldn't that mean that you don't need a few 100GB /tmp partition? So you trade a large /tmp partition for a large swap partition? The remaining question than is: what is more efficient?
You don't know if there even is a separate /tmp partition.
Really, we should not debate if use cases are "wrong" but how a default of tmpfs can be implemented into openSUSE in a way not breaking advanced setups
At least we must not change (shrink!) to tmpfs in the update case to not break working systems.
I guess this could also be done automagically.
On our desktop machines we have only one / partition to have /tmp and /var/tmp as large as possible. I guess any automatism would switch these default looking systems to tmpfs which would break all these systems. In update case the only automatism could be "use tmpfs only if it doesn't shrink current /tmp". For most existing systems this would be effectively the same like "never switch to tmpfs". So just don't change anything on update. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
