While lurking on the list, I learned in a thread "Cannot make a copy of video DVD with k3b" that the way fedora is configured, tmpfs will consume 50% of my RAM and mount itself in /tmp. If you have gobs of RAM I suppose you'd never miss it unless you are doing serious video editing or something like that. My system has only 3GB of RAM and it does appear that 1.5GB is now a tmpfs. I really don't have that to spare. I do have a 5GB /tmp partition on a physical HDD that I thought I had been using for years. Only now did I learn that I'm not. Rick Stevens suggested "systemctl mask tmp.mount" as a fix. I tried that and then I couldn't log in. It turns out, that command will make my / partition read only. I googled it and discovered that someone else had the same problem. There was no answer to that thread. You can fix this by "mount -o remount,rw /" and then issuing "systemctl unmask tmp.mount" and rebooting again. I tried editing the entry in /etc/fstab from UUID=996d5f64-0745-4af7-9260-559d5c66c7bd / ext4 defaults 1 1 to UUID=996d5f64-0745-4af7-9260-559d5c66c7bd / ext4 defaults,rw 1 1 but that still didn't mount / rw. So, how do I turn off fedora's tmpfs forever so I can use my physical /tmp partition and not consume all my valuable RAM? Or stated otherwise, how do I disable tmpfs AND keep / read-write?
