I bought a new memory for my laptop, now I have 1.5G memory, but my xubuntu can’t eat that much, so I’m thinking about how to use it. I found a very easy way that can use the memory as a hard drive. I can save my hard drive space and can make full use of my memory as well, that’s cool.
I don’t have to worry about the temperary files take so much space and make my computer slower. It will be cleaned up every time I restart my computer.
The settings are quite simple:
Choose your favourite text editor and edit the fstab file. I’m using vim.
sudo vim /etc/fstab
Add the following line into it:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,mode=1777 0 0
And save, then restart X window, we are done.
