Wait a minute. Back in this thread it says that half of RAM is allocated to the tmpfs for /tmp. Plus the purported benefit from this is causing less write cycles on SSD. (See Wiki page) That may have been a benefit a few years ago but newer SSD's will gain almost nothing from this because of the enormous number of write cycles they handle. This "feature" may have some benefits but I think they are infinitesimally small. . -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
