[opensuse] Firefox or Chromium on tmpfs and contents of /dev/shm
I was looking up if and how to put the Firefox cache into a tmpfs, and found it was basically as easy as I thought. However, I saw one comment on the forum whom said that he used '/dev/shm' so he wouldn't have to make a new tmpfs. So, I looked into my '/dev/shm' and saw this "org.chromium.Chromium.shmem.libcef_2473405944504155357" among other things. Is Chromium already using this directory for its cache? I don't even have Chromium installed. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.

Yes, it works. I imagine Chromium must be bloody fast then. Would pointing firefox to stick its cache there be fine then? -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.

Well, yes, for userspace applications /dev/shm looks like a regular filesystem,there should be no problem. However, although unlikely, you may encounter race conditions in applications, as i/o is insanely fast in ram storage, but not worry about that ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
