The answer is yes. At Sol 2.6 the restriction on the size of /tmp when
sharing with swap was removed so the size argument is now almost a
requirement to limit use to a reasonable amount.

Casper Dik further suggested using `size=2048m,nosuid', presumably to
prevent script kiddies from leaving little surprises.

Thanks for all the replies from

Actually, what I'd like is a little toy spaceship!
