on solaris it probably a good idea to change the tmp directory from /var/tmp -> /tmp I recalled this feature and decided to look into linux for it's parallel. It's called tmpfs and probably requires a kernel build for most users (I have no idea what RedHat does nowdays, nor any of the popular distributions for that matter). In a kernel 'make xconfig', select the 'Virtual memory file system support' under the "File systems" tab. Add a mount in /etc/fstab along the lines of : tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs size=100M In my.cnf, adjust tmpdir tmpdir = /var/tmp ------------------------------------------------------------------ You want to avoid mounting at /tmp for reasons noted in the tmpfs docs. There are additional reasons to avoid /tmp, just ensure the permissions on /var/tmp match /tmp. sql,query --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
