But z/VM offers you other options. You might be able to use T-disk to
satisfy your temporary requirements for disk space. Or you might be
able to mount the data via NFS and maybe avoid the duplication of

Thanks for all the explanation, folks--after reading through them, I'm
definitely sticking with physical data for /tmp, as it seems a lot
safer. And while we're not crunched for memory yet, I'm sure that day
will come...
Also, Mark, thanks for the link to the funtoo site for tmpfs info--if

And is this a bad idea? In the USS world at our shop, we've had our
/tmp directory mounted as a temporary file system (backed in memory) for
a decade with no problems, but we don't run all that much in USS. I
know that it's possible to mount tmp as memory-it's mentioned in a few

My first thought would be that it isn't a great idea to mount /tmp in Linux
memory as that adds to the working set of the machine. If you want memory I
would make it a z/VM Vdisk and put /tmp there and let CP handle the memory
requirement. But I may be totally off base here. Anybody have
