As default a tmpfs mount uses 50% of your physical memory - I generally
use the 'size=' option to limit that, otherwise two mounts have the
potential to consume it all (tmpfs can end up in swap, which is better
than killing the box, but it hurts performance).
Why put /var/log on tmpfs? Surely having logs after a reboot or failure
is useful? If you don't want logs locally, have syslog send them
somewhere else, but I don't see any point in putting them on a tmpfs
filesystem.
