Probably several processes have something open in /tmp. Anyway, you must not be CDed to /tmp to unmount it. And if there are other processes with something open, they will have to be dealt with. Probably the easiest thing is to just go to single user and only mount root and the filesystem where you intend to put the extra large /tmp - I think you mentioned /var/tmp. Then do: /ln -s /var/tmp /tmp ////jerry > > clues please? > > Cheers, > > Noah > > > > > >-Garrett > >_______________________________________________ > >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > >To unsubscribe, send any mail to > >"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
