Hi,

I'm in the process of installing Ubuntu 10.04 (actually EasyPeasy) onto my Eeepc 900. I'm replacing the version of Arch I had before.

In my previous setup I had moved my /tmp folder into RAM to reduce the number of writes to the disk. This was done with a line in my /etc/fstab like so:



none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=256m 0 0
none /tmp tmpfs defaults,size=256m 0 0


Now I noticed that there are some tmpfs mounts out of the box on Ubuntu that don't appear in fstab, so what's the Ubuntu way to mount /tmp as tmpfs?
