If this works for you, it would be great if you could extend the wiki accordingly. Thank you!
Done: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tmp_on_tmpfs#Using_disk_space_for_.2Ftmp
Added a warning about how dangerous it would be if you did this on a btrfs system
Absolutely, yes - that should only be done on non-btrfs systems (as Martin mentioned he's using). Maybe we should change the paragraph to not use 'alternatively', but rather explicitly refer to 'if not using btrfs' ? something likw: """ This is easiest with btrfs and creating a subvolume, using the "mksubvolume /tmp" command. When you're not using btrfs for /, you can mask the /tmp mount point with "systemctl mask tmp.mount". NOTE: If you mask tmp.mount while using btrfs you will be filling up your root filesystem AND creating snapshots containing the contents of tmp (in other words, don't do this, and define a subvolume) """ Cheers, Dominique
