Richard, Merijn,
would switching to tmpfs be mandatory for everybody - or could Merijin for his system opt-out of it?
Drop the second i, one will do :) Merijn, the salutation was ok
Looking at the discussion, might be worth to create a page with more details on the implementation,
On btrfs: mksubvolume /tmp On everything else: disable tmp.mount

* Change of /tmp to tmpfs
I checked • Using btrfs? No • Mounted? No $ di /tmp/ Filesystem Mount Size Used Avail %Used fs Type /dev/nvme0n1p6 / 220.7G 42.4G 178.3G 19% xfs $ sudo systemctl disable tmp.mount Unit /etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount is masked, ignoring. Uh Oh, now I don't know what to do to prevent /tmp turning into tmpfs
This is always a one liner. So people who really don't want /tmp on tmpfs can disable it easily during installation or afterwards with a fresh installation. With btrfs in upgrade case, you have to edit /tmp to enable /tmp on tmpfs. On other systems, disable tmp.mount. That's all no big magic and no complex thing with many manual steps.
