currently, you cannot force to an arbitrary content.
however, i fail to see why this specific one makes any sense:
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
it's always good to not just state the thing you want to implement,
but also why you want it and what you want to acchieve in the end.
Ok, bookmarked that.
I want to make an pro audio optimized live iso which is also able to be
installed.
In the world of linux audio, JACK (jackd) is an important tool and the
readme of it says the following:
/Welcome to JACK, the Jack Audio Connection Kit.
Please see the website (http://jackit.sf.net/) for more information.
NOTE: If you are using reiserfs or ext3fs or anything except ext2fs
for the directory where JACK puts its temporary files (/tmp by
default), then the JACK team recommends that you do *one* of the
following:
----------------------------
Mount a tmpfs on /tmp. You should have a lot of swap space available
in case some programs try to write very large files there.
In your /etc/fstab add a line:
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
You'll probably want to reboot here, or kill X then 'mount /tmp'.
---- OR ----
Alternatively, you can do this without affecting your /tmp:
# mkdir /mnt/ramfs
[edit /etc/fstab and add the following line]
none /mnt/ramfs tmpfs defaults 0 0
Then add --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs to the JACK configure
line when you build it. No clients need to be recompiled.
------------------------------
_Failure to do one of these could lead to extremely poor performance
from JACK,_
since its normal operation will cause bursts of disk I/O that are
completely unnecessary. This suggestion can also be used by ext2fs
users if they wish./
