I've been using it for all ports build since tmpfs appeared on FreeBSD. Most of times, it is okay although I had to fix a couple of bumps. There seems to be some corner cases as I see PRs come in. Speaking of bugs, tmpfs may have problems if you do "mv a a" where both source and target are the same; file may disappear due to some bug with rename.2. I tested with Linux and Solaris and "mv" prevented problems with some of these archs. But I forgot most of results and didn't have time since then. Hiro
