I have read some stuff on pros and cons for /tmp on tmpfs. One case case be a powerloss (just a desktop without UPS) or kernel panic and I loose files that I might have on /tmp temporarily. Rather /var might be of more concern as stuff gets written to logs constantly and more frequently than /tmp (I suppose). Over the last couple of days I have tried to run the trim command a few times and it seems to trim lots of bytes. 1) is that normal? 2) does that matter if I forget it, and 3) is it better to run a cron daily/hourly to do that for me *if needed*? Thanks to all. The thread kind of confirmed my suspicions that the articles were too old and the SSD tech has improved over the last few years.
