Using tmpfs for /tmp is also ok. I've been using SSD drives for a couple of years, and in my opinion concerns about logs and swap are exaggerated. And having swap on SSD is a GREAT thing if you use hibernation. :-) -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
