Hi again, I have attempted to move the /tmp folder manually from the shell, by launching thinclient with writeable options, then checking the fstab and mtab files under /etc
However, when i try to do the following to move /tmp file to NFS drive (so Openoffice applications and firefox document "open" will work on the /tmp folder from the NFS map but not the ramdisk - which fills up very quickly in one day of usage and makes it inoperable); i tried to remove the tmpfs mapping for /tmp under fstab (mtab as well) with the following /home/tcos/tmp /tmp none defaults,bind 0 0 save and close. Then did a mount -a which reloads the fstab and populates mtab (as per an article i located in web). But, when i launch the gnome, use firefox or openoffice to check, it either crashes as it used to or gives can't access tmp folder error... both the /tmp folders in root and /home/tcos/tmp folders are there with chmod 777 privileges. I officially ran out of ideas or brute-force hack-attempts. Would appreciate your reply really, on how to go about moving tmp to the nfs to make firefox document download (open with ...) and openoffice filling ramdisk tmp issues once and for all. If we can't find a solution to this, i am afraid the OTC will be rendered as unusable for our environment. And that would a pitty after spending so much time and being stuck at /tmp folder issue... Looking forward to hear from any of you, who might have a solution for this. Thanks in advance and hope all the best! cuneytm wrote: > > > Dear All, I need Help.
