Thanks, Fred! Do you know of anything that might create files with names that match /tmp/rivendell* ? If not, I’ll remove the line and see what comes of it. Rick On Jun 26, 2018, at 5:10 AM, Fred Gleason wrote: > On Jun 25, 2018, at 05:39, Rick Thomas wrote: > >>> Subje

Me too. Does anybody know if it’s OK to put /tmp on the tmpfs filesystem, or is there some reason why Rivendell needs to retain files in /tmp across a reboot. All “tmpfs” filesystems get reinitialized on reboot. Rick Thomas Volunteer Sysadmin KPTZ, Port Townsend, WA 91.9FM, Eclectic, Authentic

Thanks, Lorne and Steve. I’ll keep your advice in mind the next time we re-organize our studio network. This re-org may actually happen sometime in the next couple of years as we are planning a move to new quarters. So it’s actually a good thing you pointed that out now. Enjoy! Rick On May

We’re holding off on doing this update until we know it’s not going to take us off the air. Is this the recommended fix? Are there any plans to incorporate this fix (or some other) into a Rivendell update, so we can do the update without having to manually edit rc.local? Thanks Rick Thomas
