I'm learning how to set up a tmpfs in fstab for my www-data user and I was wondering if I can use the actual user/group name instead if the numeric ids (personal preference)?
I'm on Debian with ext4, formatted with "msdos" during setup.
It seems to be working, but I'm wondering if this is a Debian-specific feature or will it work across platforms (I like portability)?
Here's what I've got:
$ vim /etc/fstab
# PHP temporary files.
tmpfs /tmpfs/php-session tmpfs defaults,size=512M,mode=1700,uid=www-data,gid=www-data,noexec,nodev,nosuid 0 0
tmpfs /tmpfs/php-upload tmpfs defaults,size=256M,mode=1700,uid=www-data,gid=www-data,noexec,nodev,nosuid 0 0
uid=www-data
is more portable thanuid=33
