All, On the Ubuntu Cloud Images, we have a request to make /tmp a tmpfs. The rationale, from the bug: * Performance - much faster read/write access to data in /tmp * Security - sensitive data would be cleared from memory on boot, rather than written (leaked) to disk -- important for encryption scenarios
Since the Ubuntu Cloud Images are used by a wide number of users, I wanted to gather feedback and gather consensus on whether or not we should make this change. Please see Bug 1553639 [1] for the conversation. Thanks, Ben [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/1533639 P.S. Starting with 16.04, we are building cloud images in buildds using livecd-rootfs; for bug regarding _how_ cloud images are built, please file the bugs against livecd-rootfs -- Ben Howard ben.how...@canonical.com Canonical GPG ID 0x5406A866
