Hi, I'm a DD, I read the init script, and didn't find the variable, which I really didn't expect to see there. Do you think it would be possible to have the RAMTMP switch where it's more obvious? I mean, in /etc/default/tmpfs? (Do I understand well that this is your plan?)
Oh, and while I'm at it, having just "RAMTMP" as a variable name isn't really self-explanatory, especially with only cryptic comments above it. How about: # Set this to yes if you want to mount, at boot time, a tmpfs ramdisk # in your /tmp. # Note that by default in Debian, it will use a maximum of 20% # of your available memory, and potentially make your computer use # the swap space if large files are written to it and memory usage # is high. Make sure you have enough swap space and physical RAM # if you enable this option. USE_TMPFS_RAMDISK_FOR_TMP=no That's be much much better, IMO. And also, the following in /etc/default/tmpfs isn't documented enough IMO: # TMP_SIZE: maximum size of /tmp # # No default size. TMP_SIZE= What does "No default size" mean, and what does it do? Gives no limit so that /tmp can grow as much as needed? Or use TMPFS_SIZE=20%? I believe the later, given the recent discussions in -devel, but this deserves a bit more comments. Cheers, Thomas P.S: Sorry if I didn't have a look to the scripts in experimental and if the fixes are there already! :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
