my biggest problem was that tmpfs by default allocates half of physical RAM for partition. So I just allocated big enough swap and added a line to /etc/fstab with appropriate size= option.
And how is a random user supposed to know this? So if things start acting up the answer is to add more swap and mess with fstab? WTF? So now any software which uses /tmp for *gasp* temporary space is now potentially broken depending on the size of the temporary data.
Sorry guys, this feature sucks. The rationale was and is handwavy at best and none of the legitimate concerns which have been raised have been answered in any meaningful fashion. There have never been any numbers showing the IO/power benefit claims are true.
