The same size of tmpfs on /tmp also works even if you have only 4GB RAM, |
| 8 |
as I have. When it gets too full it just starts swapping. |

Actually, now that I check again, I see I've raised the size to 16G: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
$ grep 16G /etc/fstab |
| 13 |
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=16G 0 0 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
$ grep swap /etc/fstab |
| 16 |
/dev/sda3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0 |
| 17 |
/dev/sdb3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0 |
| 18 |
/dev/sda7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0 |
| 19 |
/dev/sdb7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
/dev/sdX3 are 2GB and /dev/sdX7 are 20GB (probably far too much swap, |
| 22 |
but disks are cheap). |
