Hi All,
 
Just wanted your opinion on mounting /tmp as a true disk partition (instead of tmpfs, which is part of memory) .... Have many of you done this and why did you do it ?

Some of you may have seen earlier posts from me, but I had alot of trouble with swap earlier, and /tmp increasing and decreasing in size alot.
 
It has been suggested to comment out the following line in /etc/vfstab -
 
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -

And we currently have this in our /etc/vfstab -
 
/dev/md/dsk/d5 - - swap - no -
 
To mount /tmp as a disk partition would I then change this line to ? -
 
/dev/md/dsk/d5 /dev/md/rdsk/d5 /tmp ufs yes -
 
Thanks in adance for your help .....
Tis
