Most programs, using /tmp for temporary files, may write *large* files there. So most programs fill tmpfs with large files. So tmpfs grows and swaps out (probably swapping out other applications as well). I really can't think of any popular application that write a lot of small-only files and can benefit from /tmp being on tmpfs. And I know a lot of *popular* apps that will have troubles because of that. If default settings cause trouble in a lot of cases and cause no benefits, than it's a bad default, and it should be fixed. :) -- Serge -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
