I've not really found any huge performance hit for running ext3 instead of ext2, so I just leave /tmp as ext3, and then make sure I do a: tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/<tmpdev> Then it's really just trusting the journal to do the right thing if it's unmounted dirty, and if it's bad enough to force an fsck, it's bad enough to mkfs /tmp again. I've toyed with the idea of modifying the init scripts to simply force a mkfs for /tmp at boot, but haven't been bothered enough to go through with it yet. Gregory -- Gregory K.
