linux - Backing tempfs with disk instead of RAM/SWAP -
i want limit size of folder, process cannot write more x mb
data folder. looks not possible in linux folders can done on tempfs filesystem
.
so can create tempfs filesystem , set size limit on it.
but problem tempfs
backed ram (and swap) not acceptable case run out of disk space. can tempfs existing folder on disk?
i want create around 50 such directories , set cap of 500mb on each of those.
edit 1: following command do?
sudo mount -t tmpfs /tmp /tmp/mnt/aks2
i guess mounts folder /tmp
mountpoint /tmp/mnt/aks2
. mean /tmp/mnt/aks2
mount point backed /tmp folder instead of ram? if yes why -t tmpfs in command?
no. create filesystem in file of maximum size desired , loopmount instead.
e.g.:
dd if=/dev/zero of=image.img bs=1mib count=500 mke2fs image.img sudo mount image.img /mnt
