Thanks, I could'nt find any relative information for tmpfs on the web or in the
manual pages.

I reduced my tmpfs to 128MB with the size option. I had to add a k at the end of
my interger to specify a value in kilobytes.

Just another question, would it be more efficient to use a ramfs instead of a
tmpfs to mount /tmp onto?
