/tmp as swap
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.

Code:
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.
