Package: initscripts Version: 2.88dsf-22 Severity: normal Currently the default size of tmpfs for /tmp is 20% of RAM. On smaller systems, this means that it's quite small.
Non-extreme example, with default setting of TMPFS_SIZE=20% in /etc/default/tmpfs: $ free -h total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 500M 464M 36M 0B 10M 188M -/+ buffers/cache: 265M 235M Swap: 1.2G 2.2M 1.2G $ df -h /tmp/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 101M 24K 101M 1% /tmp Advocates of tmpfs-for-/tmp talk about how the data will still get swapped out to disk if needed, so perhaps the default calculation should also take into account swap? -- Moray -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initscripts depends on: ii coreutils 8.13-3 ii debianutils 4.2.1 ii libc6 2.13-27 ii lsb-base 3.2-28.1 ii mount 2.20.1-4 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-22 ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-22 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu2 Versions of packages initscripts recommends: ii e2fsprogs 1.42.1-2 ii psmisc 22.16-1 initscripts suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
