more work to change from tmpfs to a real disk. So tmps is a good default for most users on actual hardware.
I think not. My /tmp is normally small, at this moment, 300 MB. But I'd rather have that RAM available for programs, and I don't know when a program may need way more. For instance, k3b, uses tmp for temporary DVD iso creation. YaST backup creates the backup image there, and THIS can be huge. Applications like mozilla do some downloads there, too. Besides, I prefer /tmp to be persistent, in case of reboot or crashes. I would consider a tmpfs only if I could limit the RAM usage to something small, and force overflow to swap (or disk directory) early. That is, as a specialized disk cache for a special directory. An hybrid. As a default distribution setting, it is safer to keep /tmp on real disk, than on tmpfs. On tmpfs would cause interesting crashes for people not expecting it. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
