I have tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,size=4280000000 I would suggest you don't use tmpmfs="YES" in rc.conf unless you are being very conservative with a production server. tmpfs is nominally experimental, but it seems to be very stable, and it's much more memory efficient than md devices. > Advantages: > - Memory is way faster then HDD/SSD, so it could speed things up It's not all that much faster due caching and soft-updates on hard disks. > Disadvantages: > - Security?
