So with solaris 10 are people not using the old /tmp as a regular UFS filesystem and making /tmp part of swap or tmpfs... what are peoples thoughts on this?
Can you please clarify what you are asking here?
/tmp is swap/tmpfs on Solaris 10 on any of the several hundred machines I have here.
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
yes i suppose that is the new route solaris is going, it used to be /tmp was a regular file system, not a swap/tmpfs, filesystem. I was asking what everyone opinon on /tmp as a UFS was.... vs /tmp as a swap file system
/tmp was a UFS filesystem? I've never worked on a system that was configured like that. Of course, I have only worked on Solaris 8 and later...
I think its dumb that the way /tmp and swap being shared. I had to reboot few servers because of /tmp full - out of swap space. Solaris 10 has many other functions that I hate.
what are these functions?
and:
/tmp has always been a tmpfs! (afaik and i know sol7-10)
