This is expect, per a Fedora 18 feature: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/tmp-on-tmpfs Q: Solaris uses /tmp in tmpfs for years. A: Yes. And Linux uses it on extfs for years. And, BTW, Linux's faster than Solaris Solaris had no such a fast extfs, so it had to use tmpfs instead. :) Q: But still solaris uses /tmp in tmpfs and has no problems A: That's not true. Solaris users/admins actually have problems because of the whole swap space being exhausted by a few iso-files in /tmp. The matter is that /tmp is being tmpfs under Solaris for so long that solaris admins are used to look for free space in /tmp and fix the problems, that linux users never had. I don't want to get used to problems, do you? Q: on SSD drives it's consume it's life A: not all going to ssd. normal servers still use normal drives SAS SCSI ... housewife surelly will appreciate that ssd is configured by default... but it's must be selectable at install (AND UPGRADE) time for generic user as by default it's may be out of space on minimal system without finishing needed operations (by OutOfSpace condition) and so kills system ... A+1: SSD lifetime over minimum requirements to the system ? - so MUST rewrite minimal HW requirements for fedora as 16Gb of ram ... - housewifes will not reads how to avoid OutOfSpace of /tmp - they simple ask to exchange OS to another ... from: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/tmp-on-tmpfs you also confirm that idea are quite abnormal: + Loss of information in /tmp when the system shuts down (for reboot or for power off) may affect people who are used to the current behavior of files persisting until they've not been touched for ten days. + This may also impact analysis of system crashes as /tmp will be lost on a non-clean shutdown as well as an orderly one. + Large files in /tmp may suddenly become more problematic. all comes to tmpfs (Solaris has been doing this since 1994. (Much like other Unixes, too.) Debian's next release defaults to tmpfs on /tmp, too. ArchLinux defaults to this as well. Ubuntu has plans for their 12.10 release.) - we are also under herd instinct? that why we will do things that are not right ? seems YES ... too bad if that is true ... such critical feature (which already at begin have major inconviencies) - must be OFFERED at install and in UPGRADE times as BIG question to installer. |
