SSD unusual behavior: when opening report, nothing shows up

[Bob Brush 3]

Just a quick note, recently upgraded one machine to two mirrored SSD
drives and experienced some unusual behavior: when opening a report,
nothing shows up.  

Wasn't sure what was going on, but when other problems surfaced, I was
able to narrow it down.  Because I did a clean install, the drive was
set up with a 100 MB tmpfs drive mounted as "/tmp" - this seems very
small, and basically when it fills up a lot of weird things happen, none
of which include a warning by the operating system to what the real
problem is.

I changed the size to 2GB and it's good.. My understanding is SSD drives
need to be treated differently to keep from prematurely burning
themselves up, and while that is great, there was no way to anticipate
what was coming, with my old drives /tmp was a normal directory with no
apparent size limit.. If this is the default behavior, it may show up
quite a bit as people migrate to new drives.
