I've recently started playing with NetBSD and notice that by default
it mounts /tmp as an MFS backed by swap. A quick read of the md,
mount_mfs man page would lead me to believe that
md /tmp rw,async,-s1024m 0 0
will move my /tmp dir to a swap backed 1G space. This would make me
feel much more comfortable about my continuing adherence to the
practice of giving my machine twice as much swap space as they have
memory.
Are there any downsides to this?
