If you want to use tmpfs instead of md/mdmfs when tmpmfs="YES" in rc.conf, I have no opinion. However, if you always want to use tmpfs instead of stable storage, please do not. Some people expect /tmp to be persistent. This is why /etc/defaults/rc.conf has clear_tmp_enable="NO". Changing this would break the POLA. Cheers, Eric
