Geoffrey,

Does..

# egrep /tmp /etc/fstab
/dev/ad0s1b	/tmp	mfs	rw,noatime,-s=32768	0	0

..count as "standard"?

It's not like standard (as in default) Solaris insofar as I don't give
away all my VM to the users for file storage, but then I don't do that in
Solaris either.

That reminds me of an amusing exchange with a Lotus Notes expert who
insisted he needed a two gigabyte filesystem on /tmp, but that's for
another forum.
