Adrian,
Thanks for the reply...
Thanks. I had not realized I could make the change in
/etc/default/tmpfs. I was looking at changing it in fstab, but wasn't
certain of the recommended or preferred method.

I have an issue in tmpfs which is slightly different. I have added all the

It is limited by your RAM, though.
server. The ldap db seems to fill up the mount. Can I allow more space for
tmpfs? How would I specify an external mount for some of these files? I
have added a 1G USB stick to be used for this, but not sure how to divide it
up.
/etc/fstab is the place to mount it, if you have it attached all the
time.
I am told due to the wear leveling algorithms it might be a good idea to
only partition the part of the stick you actually need or at least leave
some space. However, smaller partitions means faster fsck in case of a
crash or a routine check.
I personally always do LVM and dedicate single logical volumes to single
jobs. e.g. a seperate one for the ldap to make sure it won't die due to
e.g. some forgotten log filling the disk. Might be a bit overkill with
as little as 1GB space to talk about.

Adrian
