I'm trying to get an mfs /tmp set up on a box running 4.4-PRERELEASE
(20010810).
There are two issues I'm running into.
1. No matter what size I give via the "-s" option, the partition is
never larger than 500M. This machine has a 1g of physical mem and 2g of
swap. It has breathing room for the 800M I would prefer to make /tmp.
2. Undaunted, I decided to use the 500M for right now, realizing that
when I compiled X it would end up having to swap to disk. However, that
never happened. The 500m in /tmp filled up, but never swapped any of
itself out to disk.
For 1, is there some sysctl knob that I can change? For 2, is this a
bug or just something funky in regards to FreeBSD's implementation of
mfs?
Thanks in advance...
