Tmpfs helps your system avoid disk i/o by giving your system more flexibility in how it manages all of the available temporary space. It's something that people who are very concerned with swap impact on performance should appreciate greatly. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
