I read about a configuration to load the directory ~/.cache/thumbnails/ to tmpfs

https://askubuntu.com/a/809084

With this lines in /etc/fstab

none /home/username/.cache/thumbnails tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,uid=1000,gid=1000,mode=0755 0 0

But when I log in ubuntu it doesn't mount the directory automatically, I need to run mount every time.

    Do you have output upon the command "sudo mount -a"? If yes, there is an error. Commonly I see that the first entry is tmpfs instead of none, so eventually try changing that, – vanadium Jun 27 '19 at 13:13
  • I wonder what you did when I saw this command in fstab, but it actually works, I will swap the directory and tmpfs command.

    tmpfs /home/max/.cache/thumbnails tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,uid=1001,gid=1002,mode=0755 0 0

  • It didin't work but I found another command –  Jun 27 '19 at 16:14
  • tmpfs /home/max/.cache/thumbnails tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0 –  Jun 27 '19 at 16:14
  • But the size of tmpfs is very high 5GB, I would like that value to be smaller –  Jun 27 '19 at 16:15
  • That will be another question. Current question is on how to automount a tmpfs directory. – vanadium Jun 27 '19 at 16:32
