[gentoo-user] tmp on tmpfs

[Ian Zimmerman]

So what are gentoo users' opinions on this matter of faith?

I have long been in the camp that thinks tmpfs for /tmp has no
advantages (and may have disadvantages) over a normal filesystem like
ext3, because the files there are normally so small that they will stay
in the page cache 100% of the time.

But I see that tmpfs is the default with systemd.  Surely they have a
good reason for this? :)
