CentOS docs - Oct 2009 - Contributing Wiki article on tmpfs

Hi all,

As suggested on the forum by Phil
(
https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22594&forum=37&post_id=87597#forumpost87597
)  I would like to contribute a howto on how to put /tmp on tmpfs (or shm as it
used to be called). I would also like to add a bit of background information on
why you would possibly want such a thing.

Here are my wiki details:

wiki login: JasperSiepkes
proposed title: "Using tmpfs for /tmp"
proposed location: HowTos

I'm still as green as grass in this community so bear with me here ;-)

Kind regards,

Jasper

Hi,

sorry for reacting so late (did I really overlook that mail for 4 days? Tsk).

Do so (I mean the thingie with the background information).

Is that really going to be a larger HowTo? I see that in the
TipsAndTricks section under "file system tips" - don't you too?

Cheers,
