    Description

      A number of issues clearly show that there are parts of the server and the kernel untested by the over utilization of tmpfs as a test directory:

      E.g:

      The only real solution is to unitize a variety of real filesystems (not just ext4), including btrfs, xfs and zfs. As an extension maybe even cifs, NFS (not uncommon in cloud storage), and virtiofs.

      I do realize that real IOP are limited.

      potential ideas:
      https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/blockdev/ramdisk.html maybe one option.

      non space file on /dev/shm
      losetup on it
      mkfs on the /dev/loop
      pass that to vm/container
