Hello,

We are still using systemimager here at PPPL and are in the process of
updating our images to CentOS6.  We are running into an issue with the
tmpfs running out of space with our >4GB image.  Our testing currently
involves a virtual machine so setting available ram is trivial, but in some
of our physical machines this will be an issue.  Is there any way to not
use tmpfs in the deployment of these images?  I expect their size will grow
over time (as they did with our previous RHEL4 image).  We found some
on-line list breadcrumbs about setting "TMPFS_STAGING=no" but that seems to
be of little value as the email threads die without resolution.

Thanks in advance,
Greg Tchilinguirian
Princeton Plasma Physics Lab (PPPL)
