/tmp is only for work (such as compiling the latest vim release) on a system where your quota is too small. /tmp does mean temporary -- that's why it gets cleared. If stuff is in there it's because someone didn't flush, and now the init scripts have to clean up after them. | you want that, how about "/gets-deleted-at-reboot". DUH. /tmp on Linux | is not [...] in-memory filesystem like it is on Solaris. If you read the FAQ that is just because ext2 is fast and Solaris' filesystem is slow. You can mount tmpfs on /tmp if you want to. -D
