Sorry, Windows temporary files are nothing like tmpfs. This inclusion in the page is silly. The need for a delete on close as a file property is simply due to the silly filesystem architecture of Windows. In Unix systems, you unlink the file from the directory structure while keeping it open. When the last file descriptor referencing that file is closed, then this last close causes the file to be disposed. The Linux tmpfs works fine without swap turned on, in which case there is no place to evacuate the tmpfs pages. Moving tmpfs pages to swap is done the same way like any other virtual memory; it's not a special feature of tmpfs. --192.139.122.66 19:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
