SUMMARY: Reserving swap space

Hello Gurus,

Thanks for all who rapidly responded my question.

My Question

I would like to reserve some swap space not being mounted under /tmp
> directory. Users keep on puting their files and datasets and make the

> /tmp directory full and hence the swap area.

The solutions is

limit size of /tmp filesystem.E.g. in /etc/vfstab

swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes
size=6144m

Say My swap partitition is 8gb large. So even with full /tmp I have 2gb
for swaping

Thanks and Regards
