A some of us have already commented, some software generates large amounts of data in temp files - if /tmp was in tmpfs on my machine it would quickly get overloaded when I run physics simulations for 3d graphics rendering, for example.
making HD video I know what are temporary large files, but make them in /tmp is just a way to kill any system - can you host 3 Blu-Ray images in your /tmp?
Yes, if I wanted to
this is specially true for large file, that should never be written to /tmp. / is not intended to receive large files.
A - Where do you get that little nugget from?
as big as you make the /, you can always kill your system this way
This isn't an answer to my question: Where do you get the idea that "large file[s...] should never be written to /tmp. / is not intended to receive large files"?
B - /tmp (or /var/tmp) are not necessarily on the same partition as / : I have /tmp and /var mounted on a separate drive from / (and /home) for exactly the reason mentioned above.
so you use applications that makes tmp files grow without control?
No, I use applications which create very many quite large tmpfiles with good control and garbage collection.
openSUSE Linux is a multiuser multitask system, allowing one user or one application to kill the system is IMHO a very bad practice.
Which is more likely if /tmp is in RAM, IMHO
defaut / size are often under 10Gb.
Are they?
yes
