In my /etc/fstab I have the line tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,size=800M 0 0 This gives me a /tmp of 800M, on a machine with 288M RAM and 1.2GB of swap. Otherwise a tmpfs filesystem is limited to half of RAM. Yes, this means that if I put too much in /tmp the machine will start to swap, but that's OK with me because the swap disk is different than the disk I record to. wes
