Really? The lat time I tried putting /tmp on tmpfs on this box, I had |
| 7 |
problems when VMware tried to save 512MB files there. I use it on my |

I'll give it another try, perhaps things have changed since I last used |
| 11 |
it, although Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt warns of the dangers of |
| 12 |
setting the size too high. Thinking about it, my problems may have been |
| 13 |
caused by the default size being to low. |

Even so, you'd need a huge swap partition to build OOo in tmpfs. |
