+# tmpfs apt cache
+
+**Please Note: this will use 512M RAM for the tmpfs (it'll usually be smaller) and can cause apt automatic updates to fail. You'll need/want to watch your logs and automatic updates if using this setup.**
+
+The below commands will enable tmpfs (in memory filesystem) for ```/var/cache/apt``` which has heavy disk write turnover due to automatic updates.
+
+``` sh
+
+sudo -sHu root
+rm -r /var/cache/apt/*
+cat >> /etc/fstab <<EOF
+tmpfs /var/cache/apt tmpfs size=512M,defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 1
+EOF
+
+mount /var/cache/apt
+df -h /var/cache/apt
