I do, but ext4 handles my workload marvelously. For high-speed create/remove, /tmp appears as though it were a tmpfs without any of the drawbacks. The details of performance probably depend on each individual workload, but it would be nice to see evidence that tmpfs is really a noticeable benefit for a variety of workloads. > Wouldn't it make sense that people with those types of workloads could enable > /tmp on tmpfs? > > Rather than making it the default for everyone. That seems like a very reasonable approach, and if tmpfs turns out to be an obvious improvement for most users, then the default could be reconsidered in the future. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
