[Cooker] /tmp mounted as tmpfs

2002-01-30 Thread Borsenkow Andrej

On oone system /tmp is mounted as tmpfs. I do not remember I did it; I
did play with msec.

Is it done by msec or new install defaults to tmpfs?

TIA

AFAIR if you choose clean /tmp, you have tmpfs

 When it has changed?

from DrakX ChangeLog:

2001/12/17  Pixel  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

* fs.pm, any.pm, install2.pm, bootloader.pm: clean_tmp now means using
tmpfs

 
 /etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime:
 
 #Clean up Tmp.
 if [ -n $CLEAN_TMP ]  [ $CLEAN_TMP -ge 1 ];then

[...]

 looks sort of redundant in this case ...

not really, it's needed for backward compatibility, and it's different (esp.
it works with 2.2)

Ah!

You mean if I ever boot with 2.2 and tmpfs I get an error and no tmp?

Bad.

One way is to 

ln -s ../var/tmp tmp
mount -t tmpfs /var/tmp

This way we at least have tmp on /var not on root.

Well we should not spending too much time on 2.2.x stuff..
