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. And whether tmpfs on fresh is installed systems is a good default is IMO also very questionable. The only "advantage" is I see is that cleaning it on re-boot would be faster if you have a few 1000 files in /tmp which is also a "corner case". cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
