I have a new Ubuntu 11 server install created per the wiki with the following partitions:
md1 : active raid5 sdc5[2] sda5[0] sdb5[1]
1935813632 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]
md2 : active raid5 sdb6[1] sdc6[2] sda6[0]
16722944 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]
md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdc1[2](S) sdb1[1]
487412 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]
unused devices: <none>
/
is mounted at md1
, md2
is swap and md3
is /boot
.
I would like to create a tmpfs for /tmp
which I probably should have done at install time, but I'm wondering if there is any issue doing it now, considering that its parent is a RAID array?
Also, what process would you recommend for creating the tmpfs?
