hey folks, quick survey: what does 
df -h $(mktemp)
report on your machine?
on a MacBook Air circa 2020:
Copy code
$ df -h $(mktemp)
Filesystem     Size   Used  Avail Capacity iused      ifree %iused  Mounted on
/dev/disk1s2  932Gi  499Gi  406Gi    56% 5976558 9762001602    0%   /System/Volumes/Data
c
Copy code
df -h $TMPDIR

on an ubuntu 
18.04.5
EC2 node:
Copy code
$ df -h $(mktemp)
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p1  125G   76G   49G  62% /

what was TMPDIR on the ec2 node?

…doh. good question. it was undefined. let me update the instructions here.
c
on another EC2 
t3a.large
node we have
Copy code
tmpfs            3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs            788M  832K  787M   1% /run
tmpfs            5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
tmpfs            3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
no mount point for 
/tmp
but it exists, so guess it belong to root
Copy code

Not tempfs, huh

On my m2:
Copy code
$ df -h $(mktemp)
Filesystem     Size   Used  Avail Capacity iused      ifree %iused  Mounted on

from playing with it, 
tmpfs
will fail with 
Os { code: 28, kind: StorageFull, message: "No space left on device" }
rather than overcommitting past its allocated size

2018 Mac Mini (x86)
Copy code

thanks everyone! now i am interested in learning the history of moving away from 
tmpfs
for `/tmp`… one hypothesis is that hard drives have gotten fast enough that the downsides of 
tmpfs
(running out of space) outweigh the benefits?
but if anyone knows, please share with the class 😃
