Is there any downside to running /tmp on a ramdisk? I noticed someone recently posted a script which added this to the fstab
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=1000M,mode=1777 0 0 With RAM as cheap as it is that is not a tough or expensive thing to do, but does losing everything in /tmp on a reboot cause any problems? The next obvious question is whether it creates any benefits? Giving up a gig of RAM also means giving up a gig of cache, and that has a performance penalty also. I have seen people mention that /tmp gets used a lot on LTSP servers, but what exactly is using it, and how can I tell if removing that from my platter disks will reduce IO delays on my system?
