But that's something for the future... no, you are missing the balance between POSSIBLE benefits and side-effects and lot of work from admins and pakcages * it is a valid workload that a application creates a 10 GB tempfile * ok, you say: use /var/tmp * well, i say: my whole rootfs is only 4 GB and 2 Gb are used so waht do we do now? i known my workload and created a 30 GB /tmp my rootfs is large enough /var/log and /var/cache are own partitions the 10 GB temp-file will not be stored in /tmp where is enough storage because yoz enforce pakcages to "fix" apllications not use your holy /tmp for large things the 10 GB temp-file does not fit in rootfs aka /var/tmp the 10 GB temp-file does not fit in the memory did you EVER think about real workloads?
