:I know you've mentioned this before. Are there technical reasons behind
:this? I believe you mentioned something about the buffer cache? Would
:you be willing to add it as an option since so many others seem to want
:it?
Most of the stuff that winds up in /tmp is garbage. There is no good
reason to burden our VM system with unnecessary garbage and I know of
no performance issues involved with people using /tmp files that requires
MFS or MD. It's an unnecessary waste of memory and an unnecessary burden
on our VM system.
