Hallo Emninger,

yes, I'd also go with tmpfs, just wasn't aware that this exists. It
indeed seems to make sense to nest it with a swap memdisk - why else
have swap space at all if "the problem" is "too much memory".

I found that it is even possible to have multiple swap partitions and
define their priority, so you can create a swap-the-swap space on disk:
