Dear OpenBSD Community, I have been playing around with OpenBSD for ~2 weeks now, and I find myself very much at home in a system that puts correctness and careful development first. Needless to say that I have already made my first donation; I sincerely thank the developers for their time and effort.
I plan to commit fully to OpenBSD on my laptop as soon as 6.4 stable is out, but before doing so, I have one remaining question: I would like to have either an mfs or tmpfs instance mounted at /tmp. I have already managed this by using an appropriate entry in fstab, but I have noticed, that the system also works, if fstab contains NO entry for /tmp. The first part of is: What is the default behavior in this case? Is an instance of mfs/tmpfs mounted with default parameters? The second part to my question is: What is the key difference between mfs and tmpfs? Should I prefer one over the other? The last part of my question concerns caching chromium data in /tmp. I have read that the OpenBSD chromium port has been "pledged" and "unveiled". Does this have any influence over whether I can run chrome --disk-cache/dir=/tmp/chrome? Thank you for taking the time to read my question. Kind regards, R.
