:::::::::So it would be a mistake to say that {{mono|/tmp}} ''is'' a small file system or a file system that ''will'' be cleared or reboot or that ''will'' have files not recently referred to removed. We should, at most, note that it ''might be'' small (it is quite literally no smaller than {{mono|/var/tmp}} on my machine, as they're on the ''same partition'', and [[HFS+]] doesn't have per-directory size limits) and that files ''might be'' removed on reboot or ''might be'' removed after some period of time, depending on whether the OS you're using happens to use tmpfs or clean {{mono|/tmp}} on reboot (that's not a requirement, and, in fact, FreeBSD 10.1 didn't remove a file in {{mono|/tmp}} on reboot when I tried it just now) or whether {{mono|/tmp}} happens to be on a small root partition or whether it happens to be a tmpfs file system that imposes a RAM-only-based size limitation.

:::::::::the thing with filesystems, people know how big their hard drives are. Compared to that RAM+swap is usually ridiculously small, sometimes less then the memory of a mediocre phone and imho this is worth noting.[[User:Richiez|Richiez]] ([[User talk:Richiez|talk]]) 22:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
:::::::: @ Schilly: I am wondering how much RAM your system has and if you designate most of your hard disk space to swap? Because on a typical workstation the RAM+swap is 100-1000x smaller than the available hard disk space. So on a typical workstation any tmpfs based system would be "small". Also, why are you talking about /usr/tmp all the time? It is not even mentioned in the article page as far as I can see.
