Let's say it in this way: on a 4GB machine if the application uses the RAM, it works until (4GB+swap), but if the application uses a /tmp file, it works until 2GB! ...so using /tmp means you have less space... (facepalm) /tmp has always historically been a place where you dump large data. Disk size increases faster than RAM size. Switching disk storage to RAM storage by default is simply wrong. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
