That sounds like you'd be better off using /var/tmp instead, actually. > Please do not put /tmp on tmpfs use a bind mount of a rw partition No configuration for /tmp is going to be suitable for every purpose, I'm afraid. That's why it's so great that we have a standard way of overriding the location for temporary files: $TMPDIR. (Me, I'd quite like to see /tmp go away completely.) -- Blog/wiki/website hosting with ikiwiki (free for free software): http://www.branchable.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
