I noticed that the way I wrote this sentence isn't 100% correct. tmpfs
mounts may be using swap space as well, which is of course on disk.

Another solution that I forgot to mention is of course sizing the
tmpfs mount to be larger.  Both of these solutions are fine, but I
think the defaults should be good for casual users where either of
those would be possibly challenging.
