Oh, I wasn't thinking of single disk desktops, but multi-drive servers (which have plenty partition letters available to slice disks with). Here's another idea Stuart:- The special directory /tmp/vi.recover/ is exempt from boot & daily purging. Could a similar /tmp/sysupgrade/ default directory suit most situations? /tmp/ is normally mounted separately from / /home/ /var/ And probably not encrypted, nor over NFS.
