 Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2004 2:47 pm Post subject: tmpfs fstab options |
 |
|
In the past I have always had /tmp on a seperate partition and defined in /etc/fstab as such...
| Code: | | /dev/hdaX /tmp reiserfs noatime,notail,nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
I have moved to using the tmpfs /tmp entry like this...
| Code: | | tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
and removed the first entry.
Is is safe to do this now instead?
| Code: | | tmpfs /tmp tmpfs noatime,notail,nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
or will this cause system wide hate and discontent?
Thx,
Wally |

notail is for reiserfs.
I think use only nodev,nosuid,noexec
noatime usually intend for static or archived content, not temporary. Some programs may need it.
tmpfs filesystem size can be specified with size=bytes option Default is half of you physical memory. (tmpfs is swapable like other processes image)
