      on solaris it probably a good idea to change the tmp directory from /var/tmp ->
      /tmp

   I recalled this feature and decided to look into linux for it's
   parallel.  It's called tmpfs and probably requires a kernel build for
   most users (I have no idea what RedHat does nowdays, nor any of the
   popular distributions for that matter).  In a kernel 'make xconfig',
   select the 'Virtual memory file system support' under the "File
   systems" tab.  Add a mount in /etc/fstab along the lines of :

   tmpfs     /var/tmp    tmpfs  size=100M

   In my.cnf, adjust tmpdir

   tmpdir               = /var/tmp

   ------------------------------------------------------------------

   You want to avoid mounting at /tmp for reasons noted in the tmpfs
   docs.  There are additional reasons to avoid /tmp, just ensure the
   permissions on /var/tmp match /tmp.
