Subject: putting "/tmp" to memory
Importance: High
"to memory" means: mounting a ~2 GByte filesystem [ tmpfs?, or ramfs?
], and put the "/tmp" on it. [ e.g.: 4 GByte ram in the pc ]. what to
write in the "/etc/fstab"?
I would like to collect the [ answers too:P ]:
Advantages:
- Memory is way faster then HDD/SSD, so it could speed things up
- "SSD amortization" is less
Disadvantages:
- Security? [ how to set this up to be secure? any clear howtos/links
regarding it? :O ]
Really thank you for any good help...
In rc.conf:
tmpmfs="YES"
tmpsize="2G"
tmpmfs_flags="-S"
That'll do it :)
For other tmpmfs_flags, man mdmfs(8).
My rc.conf, for example, has:
tmpmfs_flags="-m 0 -o async, noatime -S -p 1777"
