Has anybody thought implementing some kind on tmpfs so that the disk space consumed by swap partition(s) and swap files is also used as /tmp?
I do normally use 128 MB swap and /tmp partitions on every system by default. Usually either /tmp or swap space is too small. Additional swap files help when running out of swap, but nothing helps if /tmp is full. It would be neat if I could get more (temporary) space to /tmp by creating additional swap files.
