[IDEA] Making best use of 512mb Pi with tmpfs

[mk01]

despite the changes which are comming, I still like the idea of putting xbmc ./temp and some other caching files into memory.

debian is finally implementing standard linux features (8 years old!!!) like tmpfs shm on it etc - as standard feature.

@JayBlanc specially for this purpose I would choose /run/shm, not /tmp and /tmp I would leave solid. It's ok for you if you knows you system, but general many things can go wrong. /tmp is defined in posix with no limit in size. linux is changing /tmp from permanent to clean on reboot storage, but still no size limit.

feel free to play with /etc/default/tmpfs file, everything is managed via init according to those params.

and if you use mount --bind instead of delete / create symlinks, it will be completely transparent

(fstab records)
/run/shm /home/xbian/.xbmc/temp none bind 0 0
/run/shm /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.common.plugin.cache none bind 0 0
