Strit , 2 months ago 2 good reasons to have your /tmp on tmpfs filesystems. It's faster. RAM speeds are faster than your drive speeds, even SSDs. You are certain that all the files are removed on reboot, because RAM always gets cleared when it looses power. 1 bad reason for having your /tmp be tmpfs. It can quickly fill out your RAM if your application (or you manually) drop huge files in /tmp and don't move them out afterwards. In my mind, the Pros outweigh the Cons.
