Note that in my case, though it was called "tmp", it wasn't ephemeral in the sense that after a reboot, I want the data to be kept (it is usually empty after a reboot, but just because I usually synchronize the results with a server, and then I can empty it manually without losing data). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
