It is unrelated to this topic and /tmp is no longer a directory that resides in your hard disk, but in shared memory, if you are running out of memory, it will be put in swap. there is nothing you have to be worried or configure, the kernel will do the work for you.
Many people do not have big swaps. Fortunately, what you say doesn't seem to be true: Elanor:~ # mount | grep tmp devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=372396k,nr_inodes=93099,mode=755) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,relatime) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755) tmpfs on /sys/fs/cgroup type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,mode=755) tmpfs on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755) tmpfs on /media type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,mode=755) tmpfs on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755) I don't see why /media has to be a tmpfs either. It is used for automounting. Are any of these optional? They are not listed in fstab. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
