My experiences with using tmpfs as /tmp

-- It works fine. until it doesn't.

I've had mountpoints run out of space, checked df and the mountpoint had been reduced to something like 2 MiB TOTAL, with nothing free.. on a machine with 8GiB RAM.. however, rebooting restores the mount to around 2GiB.. but then after some heavy usage, the mountpoint once again starts shrinking in size.

I've noticed this behavior in multiple versions of FreeBSD, and switched to using md instead, with no more issues.

I'm not willing to use tmpfs until it's proven to be more stable than it was when I was using it.
