Temporary files: RAM or disk?Temporary files: RAM or disk?Posted Jun 3, 2012 0:19 UTC (Sun) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954)In reply to: Temporary files: RAM or disk? by wahern Parent article: Temporary files: RAM or disk?
The fact that some people don't have swap isn't a reason. They don't have swap because they don't need it. If tmpfs were otherwise the right choice, they could easily have swap space. I would add swap space to a system even if it couldn't benefit from it for swapping, just to back tmpfs. It's a more efficient way of storing temporary, expendable files than any disk-based filesystem I know.
