Just add the > space that you would have used for /tmp to your swap well designed machines do NOT swap and have not alligend swap at all - in the case of virtualization you MUST NOT enforce swapping if you really like perofrmance even in 100 years there will be installations of people having 50,80,100 or more vurtual machine son a host and try to allocate only needed ressourcs wasting RAM a a default is only bad in such cases but however, since most packagers starting to move all their temp stuff to /var/tmp we well not noitice any changes except that you have to mount the tmp-vdisk to /var/tmp istead /tmp
