This issue comes up from time to time, I've seen it on Ask Slashdot too. But /tmp in RAM is bad. If you're writing/reading relatively small amounts of data to/from /tmp, the data is cached anyway. If /tmp is in RAM, it would mean the data is present in memory twice. And if you're dealing with huge amounts of data, it's better to write them to disk. ===== __________________________________________________ | Roel.Schroeven@xxxxxxxxxxx | .===, | : _ | "==____/ ` | <<<<\_, ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
