Hi, last questions please.
let me understand better.
tmpfs is not RAM but HD?

those
tmpfs          tmpfs      16G     0   16G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs          tmpfs      16G   33M   16G   1% /run
tmpfs          tmpfs      16G     0   16G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs          tmpfs      16G   33M   16G   1% /etc/machine-id

are space on HD or max virtual space on RAM ?

just need to add that
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,size=512m (if i want 512M)
to /etc/fstab
(and reboot?)

or something else?
or better to create another partition on disk and then move the /tmp dir?

thanks

so you mean to move the /tmp partition from /dev/md2 to another

and what size to reserve to the new /tmp... ?

well, we have it on tmpfs like below on our inbound mail-gw and use in any SA/ClamAV related service (milters and so on) explicit Environment="TMPDIR=/tmp" to make sure even /var/tmp is not used

also /var/lib/postfix containing nothing else then caches and lockfiles is on tmpfs to avoid "postscreen_cache.db" become IO bound and have 99% of all processing in memory, hence also any postfix configuration is using proxymap

maybe that's why the mailgatewy has a load average of 0.0x all the time, but keep in mind in our case it is *only* a inbound MX filtering and scanning messages with no local storage handing over clean messages to the final destinations via SMTP

tmpfs /tmp  tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,size=512m
tmpfs /var/lib/postfix tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,size=64m,uid=89,gid=0,mode=0700

Exactly, but I'd set that /tmp size to something like 10GB or more.
He's got a 2TB root drive so no sense scrimping on /tmp and running
into "fullness" problems later.
