Dear colleagues,

what do you think about stop using precious disk or even SSD resources for 
/tmp?

For last several (well, maybe over 10?) years I constantly use md (swap-backed) 
for /tmp, usually 128M in size, which is enough for most of our server needs.  
Some require more, but none more than 512M.  Regarding the options, we use
tmpmfs_flags="-S -n -o async -b 4096 -f 512"

Given more and more fixes/improvements committed to tmpfs, switching /tmp to it 
would be even better idea.

You thoughts?  Thank you!
