I'm doing some audio work with JACK. For performance reasons, the developers recommend having JACK use a tmpfs filesystem for its scratch work. Normally, JACK does its work in /tmp. One possibility is to rebuild JACK from source, with a configuration option to use a different location; and then create a tmpfs filesystem at that location. But a simpler option is to just make /tmp a tmpfs filesystem. The JACK developers suggest either.
Given that /tmp gets cleaned on reboot anyway, I can't think of a reason
why it'd be a bad idea to use a tmpfs filesystem for /tmp. But the fact
that I can't think of one doesn't mean there isn't.
So . . .any reason why this would be a bad idea?
Thanks,
