Especially when you have 250G of space it seems egregious to clamp it down to only 423M. > 1/ How many room should be set for a "/tmp" partition?

I have yet to find an acceptable tmpfs configuration that works for me for use as /tmp. I have tried but so far none of the options I have tried have worked out well. On my laptop I don't have a separate /tmp partition and simply share space with the root filesystem so that all available space is available to me. I would do that for your netbook if I were using it. On servers I always set up lvm and so set up an appropriately sized partition just for /tmp. However appropriately varies greatly depending upon the machine and task. Since it is lvm I can resize it as needed to tune it for the machine and applications. > Any comments are welcome :-) If you want to read a *lot* of strong opinions you can browser through this recent thread on debian-devel about it: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/11/msg00281.html Bob
