Ok... so you want a prove? * Open with iceweasel http://vimeo.com/13726978 * Ensure that is playing with flashplayer (right click on the movie should show the typical dialog that includes "about flashplayer" * Now launch: watch df -h /tmp/ * And see how the space used grows. *Important*: use "df -h /tmp" NOT "du -hs /tmp", since the flash player deletes the file entry from /tmp as soon as it gets the inode allocated. I believe this a measure to "prevent" piracy (people ripping the video from /tmp) See: ls -l /proc/$(ps aux|grep libf[l]ashplayer.so|awk '{print $2}')/fd And see how there is an entry pointing to /tmp/FlashXXXXXX that appears as deleted but you can still access it. Just open /proc/pid/fd/number with vlc for example Regards! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez http://neutrino.es Igalia - Free Software Engineering http://www.igalia.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
