This fixed this for me; the biggest I could get was a 6,600 GB
filesystem. This will probably be enough for now ;-)
I haven't got anywhere near that much swap space, which brings up the
question of how well tmpfs will respond in low-memory situations.

I had an assistant set up a test server for a demonstration last week.
He forgot to allocate a partition for /tmp and the root filesystem
filled up ten minutes before I started the demonstration. Mounting a
tmpfs on /tmp got me through the demo. This thread saved me a lot of
embarassment. Wolfgang, thank you.
