On machines (both servers and clients), i think /tmp must be like Linux, cleared at reboot because it's a temporary FS. The Linux point i don't agree is size of /tmp (on Linux: ram-memory/2). This formula is quite good for system with lower than 2Gb of RAM but i think 2Go is sufficient to system with more RAM (we could control this a install of in the fstab after ?). --=20 Best regards, Lo=C3=AFc BLOT,=20 UNIX systems, security and network expert http://www.unix-experience.fr Le dimanche 09 juin 2013 =C3=A0 15:45 +0400, Dmitry Morozovsky a =C3=A9crit= : > Dear colleagues, >=20 > what do you think about stop using precious disk or even SSD resources fo= r=20 > /tmp? >=20 > For last several (well, maybe over 10?) years I constantly use md (swap-b= acked)=20 > for /tmp, usually 128M in size, which is enough for most of our server ne= eds. =20 > Some require more, but none more than 512M.
