------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-03-31 15:36 -------
In my RC3 system (cooker burned after the freeze) with standard security level,
I noticed after several reboots and logout/logins from GNOME that the GNOME
logout process was taking 5-10 minutes to put up the logout/shutdown/reboot prompt.

I've seen similar problems in the past having to do with stale lock files, so I
looked and noticed that /tmp was no longer using tmpfs, but was a live
directory, and that the .X* directories were not getting cleaned out.  I
reinstated tmpfs for /tmp in /etc/fstab, and the problem went away.

This ties into a problem that existed pre-9.0 (when /tmp started to use tmpfs)
that the MDK initscripts do not properly clean out /tmp when the boot option to
do so is checked.  They delete some files, but not others, probably because the
cleanup is run too late in the sequence and /tmp is already in use by X.  As far
as I know, this was never fixed, but became a non-problem with the introduction
of tmpfs.

Hi,

by download, mozilla creates a temporary file (something.exe) in /tmp. However,
/tmp is now a filesystem by default with size approximately 200MB. Thus one
cannot download files larger than 200MB.

Is it enough to delete the /tmp line in /etc/fstab? (Suse suggests aleso changes
in /etc/init.d/boot.swap?
Except of not using the tmpfs for /tmp, is it possible to change the behavior of
mozilla? I did not find anything in Preferences.

Thanks
Milos
