You don't need to reboot because of the size change. "mount -o remount,size=<desired size> /tmp" works, at least for increasing size. One of the good things of a tmpfs is that you can resize it dynamically. > You may also consider filing a bug, since the more people report > problems with Debian's new, absurdly small /tmp, the more likely it > is to get fixed. Hmm, yes, it can certaily be raised by popular demand. But what would probably help more is a set of profiles of /tmp sizes based on the amount of system ram to provide the initial default size. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
