I've seen conflicting statements in different : references/howtos/manpages - some say that the link works, : and others say that the boot process needs temp space, and : uses /tmp for that purpose, so it needs to be on the boot : partition. Does anyone have conclusive proof (ie: a working : system of their own) that the symlink to /var/tmp works?
I don't have conclusive proof, but I can tell you that I've built several machines which have /tmp mounted on a seperate partition, and I don't see much practical difference between that and a symlink to another seperate partition ... -- Nathan Norman Network Magician, Eclectic Engineer GPG Key ID 1024D/51F98BB7 Key fingerprint = C5F4 A147 416C E0BF AB73 8BEF F0C8 255C 51F9 8BB7
