| Hi, |
| 6 |

| IMHO Linux has very good caching mechanism, so there is no need of |
| 8 |
| ramdisks (er, ramfs or tmpfs) in most situations. |
| 9 |
| |
| 10 |
| On the contrary, Solaris is using tmpfs for /tmp and /var/run. I really |
| 11 |
| like this idea, so after Gentoo install I always add |
| 12 |
| |
| 13 |
| none /tmp tmpfs size=64M,mode=1777 0 0 |
| 14 |
| |
| 15 |
| to my fstab. Your preferences may differ. |
| 16 |
| |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I do this as well. On my laptop, I also mount /var/log as tmpfs to reduce the |
| 19 |
number of writes (and hence prolong battery life). |
