I build all my systems with /tmp separate from /. That goes for Linux/390 and Intel Linux. SLES9 will handle it nicely.
I'm beginning to have doubts about LVM (version 1 at least) on 64-bit systems. I've had two cases where my volume groups have disappeared after an IPL, and hence all my logical volumes. Emails to the linux-lvm mailing list have gone unanswered. I don't know if it's because I'm running Linux/390, LVM 1 or what. Having said that, if you're going to use LVM, using it for /tmp is certainly the safest. According to the FHS, the contents of /tmp are not guaranteed across a reboot anyway. Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Uriel Carrasquilla Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2005 6:10 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: /tmp as a logical volume We have /tmp as part of the / (root) file system in one 3390 volume (m9). I was wondering what reaction I would get from this list if I was to create a logical-volume (lvtmp), part of an existing volume-group (vgsys01) and mount it as /tmp. Would SuSE SLES-9 be ok with it? what are my risks if under LVM? would I be able to IPL if the LVM gets damaged and I just change my /etc/fstab to remove the reference to /tmp? any suggestions, comments and ideas are welcome.
