Actually, it's pretty simple to do this, by using a lazy unmount. No need to add an extra /run directory. #! /bin/sh cd / mount -n -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp cd /tmp umount -n -fl /tmp # From this point on, the current working directory of this script # and all its children is a tmpfs mount that isn't seen by the # rest of the system. As soon as this script exits the tmpfs # mount is cleaned up. ... bla, blah ... Mike. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
