That one needs to check if /dev/shm is present, and fall back to /tmp
if not.

Are you proposing that virtual servers automatically using /dev/shm if available and only falling back to the $TMP variable and /tmp directory if not? Or would this keep the use of $TMP if present and fall back to /dev/shm followed by /tmp?

I'm asking because I've optimized multiple host machines to offer a ramfs for virtual servers. This gives me locked memory (which still provides a significant performance improvement over time) for each instance. I would prefer to avoid using tmpfs if possible.

Alternatively, some means for preventing the host from swapping out instances would be appreciated.
